DSLi, a provider of integrated voice and data services, is commercially deploying BroadSoft, Inc.'s BroadWorks-based enhanced telephony services to its residential and commercial customers in Miami, Palm Beach, and Orlando with plans to expand to 39 metropolitan areas throughout the United States.

With BroadWorks, DSLi will be able to add an extensive set of voice services to their current data offerings over a fiber optic network. DSLi will now offer its existing customers IP centrex services including a set of Web-enabled enhanced telephony services such as conferencing, call forwarding, caller ID, voice mail, follow-me-anywhere calling, and auto attendant.

Additionally, BroadWorks' Web-enabled service provisioning will help DSLi to more rapidly deploy and manage new services.

"After evaluating a number of comparable solutions, we found that BroadSoft has the best platform for delivering easy-to-use enhanced voice services that meet our standards of high-quality, reliable and efficient communication solutions," said Mario Bustamante, president and chief executive officer of DSLi." We are using BroadSoft's feature-rich BroadWorks platform as the core of our voice strategy because it offers the carrier-class scalability and reliability we need to deliver always-on services to our growing customer base."

With DSLi, BroadSoft has now announced seven service providers nationwide who are using BroadWorks to add enhanced voice services to their service offerings. BroadWorks is the industry's first complete set of integrated voice applications and servers designed to enable service providers to deliver basic and enhanced voice services to enterprises of any size. The BroadWorks product family provides support for media-oriented applications such as voice mail, conferencing, and auto attendant as well as personal calling functions such as selective call forwarding and notification, call transfer, and simultaneous ringing.
