the Deployment of Enhanced, Revenue-Generating Services
NEEDHAM, Mass. – July 17, 2007 – Cantata
Technology™, one of the world’s leading providers of
enabling communications technology, today announced, in conjunction
with Datatronics, one of its European distribution partners, that
more than 25 Excel CSP 2090™ converged services platforms
have been deployed in Telefónica’s extensive worldwide
network. The CSP 2090’s open programmable architecture was

in existing network infrastructure.
Spain-based Telefónica, one of the world’s largest
telecommunications companies, is utilizing the feature-rich CSP

ring back tone service that boasts almost two million subscribers.
Other Cantata-powered services include prepaid IVR, conferencing,
customer care, and calling cards.
The Excel CSP 2090 is a carrier-grade converged services platform
that bridges existing TDM networks with next-generation IP networks,
by integrating protocols for IP (SIP and H.323), TDM (SS7, PRI,
and R2), mobility and IN. The Excel CSP 2090 is the ideal solution
for carrier-class enhanced services ranging from unified messaging
to conferencing, pre-paid, IVR and many more.
“Cantata and Datatronics continue to benefit from a long-standing,
productive partnership,” said Oscar Gonzalez, director, sales
and business development, Datatronics. “Cantata’s superior
enabling communications product portfolio, combined with Datatronics’
local support, systems integration, and maintenance operations,
represents an ideal solution for European service providers transitioning
to all-VoIP environments.”
“Excel’s CSP 2090 perfectly meets the demanding enabling
infrastructure needs Telefónica required to fulfill its value-added
service strategy,” said Timothy L. Murray, chief executive
officer, Cantata Technology. “Today’s announcement is
testimony to the value that Cantata and its partners offer service
providers by bridging now generation networks with next generation
networks to significantly enhance bottom-line revenue.”
“We are very pleased with the features and stability of Cantata’s
Excel CSP 2090 platform since we began initial deployments of the
technology two years ago,” said Francisco Javier Melero, manager
of CRM platforms, Telefónica. “We have experienced
a significant
improvement in the availability of our system, and are impressed
with the high level of quality service and support provided by Datatronics
and Cantata.”
