--Will Enable Use of Moxi Telephone on Circuit-Switched Phone Networks
Paul Allen-owned interactive TV products and services company, Digeo, and Integra5 Communications, a provider of converged quad-play messaging and communications technology, say that Digeo's Moxi Media Center is now interoperable with Integra5's UniTV converged services platform. The Moxi Media Center--a Linux-based platform which allows end-users to store, access and manage a variety of entertainment content, including digitally recorded TV programming, music, photos, games, and VOD titles, through a single, unified menu--includes Moxi Telephone, an interface to telephony features such as caller-ID, call logging and message control; UniTV, meanwhile, provides real-time delivery of signaling information and content across four types of network: television (cable, satellite and IPTV), data, telephony (VoIP and public-switched telephone), and cellular. According to Digeo, integration of Moxi with UniTV will allow cable operators with circuit-switched or hybrid voice networks to offer advanced telephony and messaging services to customers equipped with Moxi boxes: in such networks, UniTV will receive call signaling and control information and then forward it to the end-user's Moxi box, which will then display caller ID and message information on the TV. "Interoperability with UniTV allows deployment of Moxi Telephone on a much wider scale," Digeo's SVP of sales and marketing, Bert Kolde, said in a prepared statement. "Now operators can provide Moxi Telephone over both VoIP and traditional voice networks, allowing them to offer attractive bundling packages and potentially increase average revenue per user."
