Today at SUPERCOMM 2005, Microsoft Corp. announced that it is providing the innovative software-based solutions telecommunications operators require to deliver a variety of services over Internet protocol, or SoIP. With the addition of voice over IP (VoIP) capabilities to its solution set, Microsoft offers a comprehensive portfolio of robust solutions that allow service providers to build, manage and combine voice, video and data services.

“While everyone would like to find that silver bullet, we believe it’s not just one killer app or service that’s going to drive the growth of telecommunications services,” said Maria Martinez, corporate vice president for the Communications Sector for Microsoft. “It is services over IP, or more specifically, the aggregation of services over IP that will transform the way we work, live and play, today and well into the future. Microsoft’s Communications Sector is focused on collaborating with service providers to build software-powered service networks that will help them create new revenue opportunities and enhance the customer experience.”
