BOCA RATON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–China Voice Holding Corporation (CHVC) (OTC:CHVC), announced today that its China subsidiary, Beijing CandidSoft Technology Co. Ltd. (CandidSoft), had successfully completed the development of their Carrier Grade, fully featured VoIP switching platform and integration into the Company’s patented SKY O/A Office Automation System. To assist with the development project, the Company contracted Beihang University (BUAA), one of China’s leading research universities.

The SKY O/A Softswitch platform supports converged communications services by integrating SS7 telephone signaling with packet networks and replaces a third party hardware-based switch. The technology features Class 5 functions and was designed with emphasis on a high degree of scalability to support the large number of voice and data “seats” called for in contracts previously announced. Candidsoft has successfully deployed the integrated solution during the initial phase of their contract with the Chinese Navigation Affair Administration Bureau.

CHVC’s President and CEO, Bill Burbank said, “By developing our own softswitch, CHVC is not only in a much better position to keep the competition out but has also eliminated a very substantial licensing and hardware cost in deploying our Government Contracts. As previously announced, CHVC is currently installing 103,000 initial contracted telephony seats. The third party licensing cost savings will amount to $55 per seat, or over $5,000,000 additional to the bottom line on just those contracts.”

CandidSoft CEO and CHVC President of Asian Operations, Xing Chunlin commented, "The Sky O/A voice and data solution now uses technology that we own in every aspect of its services. With over one million Office Automation users currently on our SKY O/A platform, and contracts for hundreds of thousands of seats that include telephone services, it’s essential that we have full control and ownership of the technology. This enables us to properly support our customers and guarantee the highest standards. In addition, by contracting BUAA, the most prestigious engineering university in China, we feel that we have jointly developed one of the most advanced switching platforms available in the World.”
