With millions of Broadband (xDSL, wireless) lines installed the market is ready for a new revolutionary IP-based service-centric approach when customers want to install voice lines, use call VPN and the other Hosted-PBX services over existing Internet connection no matter of their geographical location.
This business model, based on revolutionary Softswitch service delivery technology, is gaining popularity among service providers. Aggregating service logic at the network level within a central controller makes a lot of economic sense for the carrier: upgrades and changes are made in one place only, more efficient use of costly IP resources (such as softswitch ports), and etc.

The most important advantage is service selection flexibility shared by both for service providers and their customers, who can subscribe only to whose services they need at this time. By using IP-Office WEB interface customers can automatically configure their Hosted IP-PBXs, set new phone lines, assign PSTN numbers within seconds, thus unloading the provider's customer service and billing departments.
