Cedar Point and Blueslice Team to Provide IMS Solution for Converged Service Providers

DERRY, NH--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 12, 2009 -- Cedar Point Communications, a worldwide leader in integrated Voice over IP (VoIP) switching technologies for service providers and enterprise telecommunications operators, and Blueslice, the leading provider of subscriber management solutions for Mobile, VoIP, FMC, and M2M networks, today announced that they are teaming to integrate Blueslice's industry leading HSS 3000 subscriber management system with Cedar Point's Safari C3 solution. This will enable both companies to offer carriers with wireline, mobile and cable properties the opportunity to deploy fused services, seamlessly across wired and wireless networks.

"This partnership brings together the best-of-breed Blueslice HSS and Cedar Point's VoIP solutions to enable operators to develop and deploy next generation fused services," said Mark Tubinis, CTO at Cedar Point. "Today, most services providers are offering bundled services; however, they need to evolve to provide multimodal, multimedia, multiparty services or 'fused' services to satisfy the emerging demand from consumers."

"Blueslice and Cedar Point are partnering to deliver innovative solutions to VoIP carriers worldwide. The Blueslice Converged Subscriber Platform 3000(TM) is the perfect addition to Cedar Point's integrated VoIP solution," said Stephan Ouaknine, President & CEO of Blueslice Networks. "We look forward to leveraging the synergy between Blueslice and Cedar Point as we join forces to further our global presence."

Blueslice's HSS 3000(TM) is the central subscriber database in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks. The Blueslice's HSS 3000(TM) provides control and intelligence within mobile and fixed networks and the management of multiple profiles per subscription.
