NewStep Adds Support for Social Networking Applications into Convergence Platform

NewStep Networks Inc., a market and technology leader in service
convergence, today announced it has incorporated a social networking
communications framework into its Converged Services Node (CSN)
platform. These new capabilities build on NewStep´s recent
introduction of a personalized communications framework that provides
users with services that are tailored to their unique personas, based
on NewStep´s award winning fixed-mobile convergence technology that
delivers a seamless mobile experience between cellular and wireless
networks and devices.

"Adding convergence capabilities to social networking applications
furthers NewStep´s commitment to enabling a personalized user
communications experience," said Shannon Bell, vice president of
marketing at NewStep. "Knowing when a contact is online, how they want
to be contacted and the best manner to reach them delivers a rich user
experience that puts the user in control."

NewStep has developed a Facebook application that enables a
converged click-to-call experience, providing user control over one´s
identity, social network, and communications channels. Similarly,
NewStep´s widgets for Yahoo!oneConnect and iGoogle bring convergence
into a user´s own personalized mobile or web portal, leveraging all
available presence, location, and behavior characteristics.

These new features are built on NewStep´s proven convergence
server that is commercially deployed and delivering solutions to
service providers and enterprises today.
