the PT.com Broadband Service PORTUGAL and SANTA CLARA, CA, June 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PT.com, the Internet subsidiary of the
wireline division of Portugal Telecom Group (NYSE:PT) (visit
http://www.telecom.pt/), and Xten Networks, Inc. (OTCBB: XNWK), a
provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), Video over IP,
Instant Messaging (IM), and Presence SIP softphones, today
announced today that PT.com has entered into software licensing
agreement with Xten. Under the terms of the agreement, PT.com has
licensed Xten's eyeBeam SDK to develop a softphone application for
integration and deployment with the PT.com Broadband Service (SAPO
ADSL). "In the last months, we have been working rather intensively
in finding VoIP solutions that will answer the present and future
needs of our clients. We believe that this solution with Xten's
trademark is the best way to proceed and succeed in the future,"
stated Manuel Rosa da Silva, an Executive Board Member of PT. "This
partnership signifies another carrier win for Xten," stated Erik
Lagerway, president and chief operating officer of Xten Networks.
"We are very happy to have been chosen by PT to power their new IP
communications soft client and eagerly await their upcoming product
launch." Xten's softphones for Windows, MAC OS X, Pocket PC and now
Linux are software applications, which run on devices such as
personal computers (PCs) or personal digital assistants (PDAs) or
can be integrated into set-top boxes, embedded devices, instant
messenger applications and alike. When an Xten softphone is
connected to a service provider's network, the user can make and
receive calls to and from other "on-net" callers (IP-to-IP) and/or
"off-net" callers (IP-to-PSTN/Cellular) with the same quality of
service they would expect from an IP handset. However, at a
fraction of the cost, while providing more features and
functionality than an IP handset. About PT.com PT.com is the
