MetaSwitch has unveiled a new Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based telephony solution aimed at the cable market called COMETE! or Cable Operator Multiservice Platform for Enhanced Telephony Evolution.

The product offers voice services to both business and residential customers, including profitable business services such as hosted private branch exchange (PBX), unified communications and converged T1 services over Internet Protocol (IP).

The MetaSwitch IMS-based softswitch solution is already being deployed by more than 10 cable operators. These cable operators have adopted the COMPETE! solution to deliver a range of enhanced telephony services, fuel top-line revenue growth and boost long-term relevance to their subscribers in the face of IPTV, alternative broadband technologies and other competitive threats.
