NCTA: SinglePipe, IBBS Partner in Back Office

SinglePipe Communications, a managed service provider of wholesale digital voice solutions, and Integrated Broadband Services LLC (IBBS), a provider of OSS software and services for broadband and tier 2 cable operators, have introduced a joint, integrated back office solution for voice, video and data to cable customers.

The offering will combine IBBS’ Broadband Explorer diagnostics and provisioning software with the SinglePipe Integrated Provisioning System Platform (SIPS) for digital voice.

SinglePipe enables broadband and cable operators to quickly launch customizable and scalable digital phone services. The combination of its managed service offering and SIPS means that cable operators can market, sell, provision, deploy, manage and bill digital voice services.

IBBS provides OSS software and services to more than 200 cable operators worldwide. In partnering with SinglePipe, IBBS solidifies its ability to deploy and deliver effective, preventive solutions that meet the complex demands of today’s telecommunications marketplace.

Also at the Cable Show 2009, IBBS introduced new broadband management tools.

IBBS debuted version 4.6 of its Broadband Explorer (BBX) diagnostics and provisioning software that features advanced bandwidth, usage, billing and capacity management functionality. According to IBBS, these product enhancements will enable cable operators to more closely monitor and manage user bandwidth capacity, ensuring their networks work as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
