BroadVoice Enters Into Agreement with WorldGate to Purchase Ojo(TM) Personal Video Phones
WorldGate Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: WGAT), a leading provider of
personal video phones and associated technology, and BroadVoice Inc, a
leading provider of high-quality, feature-rich broadband phone services
to consumers and businesses, today announced that they have entered into
an agreement to utilize WorldGate’s OjoTM
and OjoTM Shadow personal video phones
provisioned with WorldGate’s new service
provider software package. The initial order is expected to ship within
the next few weeks.
The new software enhancements have permitted BroadVoice to easily
provision their Ojo personal video phones on their technology platforms,
enhancing their capabilities and increasing their speed to market. The
enhancements also provide for Ojos purchased by BroadVoice customers to
immediately enjoy the Ojo personal video experience utilizing an
automated activation process. This will give BroadVoice the ability to
maintain standard inventory and reduce the need for and cost of unique
inventory.
The companies have also agreed to work together to develop marketing
approaches that will allow customers to take advantage of the full array
of features and services offered by BroadVoice.
"We have been working with WorldGate on their
new service provider package to define the best user experience, and
found that the Ojo personal video phone connected to the BroadVoice
network outperformed our expectations in all respects,”
said Les Berry, President of BroadVoice. "The
Ojo will allow us to enhance our product offering, and give BroadVoice a
competitive advantage with both consumers and businesses.”
BroadVoice is focused on maintaining high quality across their open
access Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communications network. With their "bring
your own device” plans, customers can
choose from the broadest possible selection of VoIP communication gear,
including IP phones, softphones and phone systems.
"The opportunity to align Ojo with such a
well-respected and strong player in the new world of communications is
another major step for Ojo,” said Hal
Krisbergh, Chairman and CEO of WorldGate Communications. "BroadVoice’s
market penetration and customer base can be a key driver for sales of
the Ojo video phone.” Mr. Krisbergh
continued, "We are also extremely excited
that our new service provider package was instrumental in accelerating
our ability to conclude negotiations with BroadVoice and schedule
immediate shipments.”
Ojo is the first broadband video phone to feature a friendly and
intuitive display that facilitates realistic, face-to-face, personal
communication experiences over DSL and cable broadband networks. Ojo is
connecting families, friends, colleagues and their customers in 56
countries worldwide.
