| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
|
| TransPacificTelecom signs first customers for VIVOware |
|
| Turning ISPs, last-mile providers into phone companies overnight |
|
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2002
- TransPacificTelecom (TPT) announced today it has begun
signing customers for VIVOware and VIVO COMPLETE, billing
software and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) network services that
turn Internet service and other "last-mile" providers
into telephone companies overnight, able to generate new
revenue by offering long-distance phone services to broadband
Internet subscribers -- without launching a telecom network,
installing one network switch, or building management
and billing software from scratch.
TPT's clients include Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and Small Businesses:
- 24 Transport Inc., www.24tp.com, a CLEC or carrier's carrier
telecom consulting firm in Los Angeles that builds networks
around the world and is a colocation provider in all major
cities in the US, Canada and Mexico. "TPT's VIVOware is
the VoIP solution we have been seeking," said Chuck Moses,
chief executive officer. "It gives 24 Transport the ability
to provide IP telephony services to our enterprise clients
in the US and International cities. The savings realized
on our internal long distance costs make this a compelling
solution for the enterprise."
- CCC Communications, www.ccccom.net, a national ISP with offices in Los Angeles and San Diego that offers voice and data network solutions to business customers. "TPT is dedicated to customer satisfaction and has a compelling business offer where we can finally increase our profit margins with our broadband subscribers. Our engineers and staff have extensively tested the VoIP service and we use it ourselves. The VIVOware software platform is easy to use and comprehensive," said Robert Dupree, chief executive officer.
- National Tax & Business, www.nattaxba.com, a consultant in Newport Beach, CA, that uses VIVOware to offer pre-paid calling cards. "Working with TPT has increased my business at least 20 percent in less than two months, boosting profit margins," said Jerome Stoll, chief executive officer.
TPT also signed Freedom2Web for Ricochet (RNI), and has begun testing in San Diego to add VoIP to the high-speed wireless Internet data network.
About VIVOware
Winner of a Best of Show award at the Internet Telephony Conference & Expo in October 2002, where it was demonstrated publicly for the first time, VIVOware is a feature-rich billing and customer care software application for VoIP services. It provides complete Web-enabled call detail record tracking, rating and routing, call completion reporting, automated customer invoicing and payment gateway, reporting and management tools with automated domestic and International rate tables, trouble tickets, and more.
About VIVO COMPLETE
VIVO COMPLETE integrates VIVOware with TPT's global VoIP infrastructure and network for routed domestic and international long-distance. For global applications, TPT's software and services deliver voice services over broadband Internet to remote locations where traditional phone service can take months to install and can be prohibitively costly.
VIVOware is highly scalable, designed to support a range of business models, including flat-rate billing options and billions of calls. TPT's Alliance Partners and resellers set their own long-distance and local rates, design their own service plans, offer customized commission schedules, and provide personalized agent and customer access to VIVOware's Web-based software.
"VIVO COMPLETE is a plug-and-play solution that enables ISPs and other 'last-mile' providers to become long-distance carriers overnight," said Stephen Thomas, founder and chief executive officer of TPT. "It provides everything a company needs to become successful selling Internet Telephony -- a seamless solution that may be private-labeled or co-branded."
Market analyst Forrester Research Inc. reports "the $150 billion U.S. market for voice services has been left for dead - slow growth, low margin, and no innovation. But ripening IP-based services will combine voice with the Web to create vast new opportunities for service providers." Forrester describes VoIP as "a classic disruptive technology," and notes that "an astounding 15 percent of online consumers now use their PCs for voice calls" driving a "30-fold" growth rate.
