AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2002
BroadJump, Inc., the leader in broadband software, today announced the addition of Telmex to its customer roster expanding the company's reach into Latin America.
Telmex, the leading telecommunications company in Mexico, has more than 13.9 million lines in service and 1.9 million data transmission-enabled lines.
Having secured more than 70 percent of the North American broadband market, BroadJump continues to grow its business abroad. In addition to its Latin American deployments, BroadJump also has successful customer relationships in Europe and Canada. BroadJump will assist Telmex in the roll out of its broadband service, and in making high-speed access more widely available for Mexican residents.
"Given broadband's nascent stage in Latin America, there is a tremendous opportunity and significant need for service providers to take a leadership position and deliver on the promise of broadband," said Juan Ignacio Fernandez, senior industry analyst at Gartner Dataquest. "Software solutions like BroadJump's are essential for service providers to accelerate the rollout of high-speed access and provide consumers with a positive broadband experience."
Informa Media Group predicts that the number of broadband households across the region will increase by a factor of 10 between 2002 and 2007. Additionally, Frost & Sullivan reports that high-speed access encourages Latin American buyers to spend more time on the Internet, hence giving them more exposure to products and services that can be purchased on-line. According to the report, music, videos and interactive games are just some of the features that are possible to access with a broadband connection, something that was impossible through traditional dial-up access.
"BroadJump's expansion into Latin America is a key milestone for the company as we continue to broaden our international scope beyond North America," said Kenny Van Zant, chief operating officer for BroadJump. "The decision by Telmex, one of Latin America's leading telecommunications providers, to select BroadJump's solutions, exemplifies our ability to meet the business and operational needs of Latin American service providers."
"Telmex is committed to continually discovering technology that will allow us to offer new and better services. BroadJump adds to this strategy in offering comprehensive solutions to our clients in advanced telecommunications services," said Arturo Elias Ayub, strategic alliances, communications and institutional relations director of Telmex.
