Building upon years of joint deployments, Acme Packet and BroadSoft have formalized and strengthened their relationship as part of BroadSoft's Premier Access Solution program. Over 70 service providers around the world currently use Acme Packet Net-Net SBCs and BroadSoft BroadWorks.

Premier Access Solutions focuses on hosted service solution testing, including prioritized and pre-tested interoperability as new product releases are made available, joint development and feature integration, pre and post sales support along with development of integration guides and documentation of best practices. This integration work helps service providers quickly deploy revenue-generating services by mitigating access side operational and management challenges. Service providers will also benefit with rapid problem resolution.

"Acme Packet is a natural fit for our Premier Access Solution program based on the extensive feature set of the Net-Net SBC product family coupled with our joint experience working with service providers worldwide," said Scott Wharton, vice president of marketing for BroadSoft. "Our companies have the same goal to offer pre-integrated, readily deployable access solutions that allow carriers to rapidly deploy secure and premium hosted VoIP services."

"Acme Packet and BroadSoft share a strong and growing common customer base and market focus," said Seamus Hourihan, Acme Packet's vice president of marketing and product management. "Our strategic partnership helps overcome operational challenges and provides service providers with a premier VoIP solution so they can focus on building their revenue streams."
