IP Unity® Announces Latest Win, in Mexico’s Cable Sector, with Cablemás


MILPATAS, Calif — December 5, 2006— IP Unity, the leader in carrier-grade media servers, application servers and real-time multimedia applications, announced today that it has won another major contract, in the Mexican cable sector, with the number one VoCable (Voice-over-Cable) operator Cablemás. The IP Unity Mereon® 3000 Media Server and Mereon Voice Messaging application will go live this month in Cuernavaca. The operator plans to expand service to include 13 additional cities in the coming months.  

Formed in 1968, privately held Cablemás has been at the vanguard of cable television offerings to Mexican metro markets for over 35 years. The operator has more VoCable subscribers in Mexico than any other provider, including 22,000 in Tijuana via a partnership with a top telephone provider.  

“We selected IP Unity because of the flexibility and scalability of its Mereon platform, and because of the solid interoperability the system has with our Cedar Point softswitch,” stated Cablemás CTO Cecilia Pedraza. “We are currently rolling out Mereon Voice Messaging to our subscribers and are pleased to be able to extend message access via a web interface. We are also evaluating a future expansion to include Mereon Unified Messaging.”  

“Mexico is a very important market for IP Unity, as it represents a demanding mass market with a need for very aggressive economics and feature sets,” stated Chief Business Officer Keith Bhatia. “We are very pleased to be part of Cablemás’ forward-thinking investments in enhanced services, starting with their core infrastructure in Cuernavaca. This leading operator has built a progressive record of success over a very broad base, and we look forward to helping Cablemás sustain its market leadership in VoCable.”
