DigitalBridge Communications launches VoIP service over WiMAX -- BridgeMAXX Voice Service Now Available in 15 Markets
September 30, 2008 Ashburn, VA and Chicago, IL (WiMAX World)

DigitalBridge Communications (DBC) today announced that it has expanded its portfolio to provide voice service via its high-speed wireless Internet network, marking one of the first commercially available Vo—IP services provided over a WiMAX network in the U.S. DBC now extends voice service to 15 markets in, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, South Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming.

DBC was the one of the first providers to launch a fixed and portable WiMAX service using the Alvarion BreezeMAX platform. DBC also recently deployed the first commercially available mobile WiMAX™ network using WiMAX Forum-certified equipment in the U.S. in June of 2008 with a launch in Jackson, Wyoming and the greater Jackson Hole area.

“ DBC is proud to be leading the way again with our launch of WiMAX voice Internet service in the U.S.,” said Kelley Dunne, CEO of DBC. “On the heels of DBC’s highly successful launch of the first mobile WiMAX offering, it is clear there is a strong appetite across the U.S. for 4G services. DBC is accelerating its product roadmap delivery to meet this growing customer demand.”

DBC’s voice capability enhances its fixed high-speed wireless Internet service by enabling customers to easily upgrade for greater value. It is exclusively available for use with BridgeMAXX high speed Internet. Selling under the BridgeMAXX brand, the new voice service is offered for a price of $29.99 per month. Similar to the Internet service, customers can install their service on their own in a matter of minutes.

The DBC BridgeMAXX Voice Service is powered by Alianza’s hosted voice platform providing industry standard feature sets for residential and business customers. The platform features a highly intuitive interface that consolidates the entire VoIP services lifecycle and all its disparate systems and processes with seamless back-office integration and parallel business process optimization. According to Doug Smith, CIO of DBC, “the Alianza platform simplifies our administrative and operational tasks. DBC has been able to deploy quickly and cost-efficiently, while driving increased revenue through BridgeMAXX voice service as a value-added application for both existing subscribers and new customers.” Brian Beutler, CEO of Alianza added, “DBC has been a true pioneer in the delivery of fourth generation services. We are pleased to be working with such an innovative partner who continues to break new ground with value-added WiMAX applications.”

The BridgeMAXX high speed Internet service is plug-and-surf technology that allows customers to set up and begin using a WiMAX high-speed Internet connection in a matter of minutes. For most residents, service can be accessed using a small portable modem or a device that connects to their computer. The wireless high-speed Internet service employs licensed radio frequencies to provide service instead of traditional coaxial cable, telephone wires or satellite dishes. WiMAX is a secure, high-speed, long-range wireless Internet technology.
