Time Warner Cable Selects Siemens to Expand Digital Phone Service
Time Warner Cable recently selected SURPASS next-generation IP-based voice feature servers from Siemens Networks to help accelerate VoIP deployments of Time Warner Cable's Digital Phone service, now in use by 1.6 million of its 14.4 million U.S. subscribers.
Capable of multiple network configurations, the Siemens SURPASS hiQ platforms have the capacity to support as many as 150,000 subscribers in a single voice feature server, along with the carrier-grade reliability users have come to expect from their telephones.

"We're confident that Siemens will assist us in achieving our deployment goals as we deliver the value of our Digital Phone service to a growing number of customers."
"Time Warner Cable is a recognized leader in its VoIP deployments, and we worked hard to meet and exceed the high standards it set for us in trials," said Christian Unterberger, President Fixed Networks at Siemens Networks. "We believe that the scalability, reliability and ease of adding new features provided by our SURPASS platform will help Time Warner Cable drive more rapid VoIP adoption among its subscriber base."
