The Opportunity to Differentiate

Provide a globally consistent network platform that creates broader reach for developers and enables higher value finished goods & services for customers.

Provide solutions to common, hard problems that are not easily solved by fragmented platforms or a single ecosystem participant. Some examples:

Real-Time

Communications Messaging Identity Security

Policy-Enabled Variable QoS

& Bandwidth

Contextual Information Billing Traffic Optimization Global Interoperability

Application Context

Rich B2B2C Applications can be easily built to automate scenarios such as:

• Patient contacts Triage Nurse via a web page

• Triage Nurse collects symptoms using shared data apps and voice/video media then selects a doctor

• The Doctor is notified that a patient needs assistance; can access all medical records and see patient from anywhere

• Automation protects privacy, provides strong security, and insures accurate record keeping, billing, etc.
