Marconi announced a partnership with Sweden-based Teligent will develop SIP-enabled applications for the Marconi SoftSwitch. The Teligent Messaging Service (TMS) will provide SoftSwitch subscribers with voicemail, IP-based Intelligent Voice Recognition (IVR) and advanced voice processing applications, such as text-to-speech and speech recognition. The joint solution will allow users to download or stream voice, fax, text (SMS and email) as well as video and multimedia (MMS) messages to devices such as IP phones, PCs and video-enabled IP phones. The TMS will also provide the SoftSwitch with features that will allow users to retrieve their voicemails from websites or PC programs and access their email via text-to-speech over the phone. In addition, the combined SoftSwitch and TMS will provide users with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) client to give a single, converged view of all message types.
The agreement is based on the Teligent P90/E application platform, which is already in-service by many leading carriers, including BT, AT&T Wireless, Cingular, MCI, T-Mobile USA Telefónica, Telia, Tele2 and members of the Vodafone group. http://www.marconi.comhttp://www.teligent.se
