Primal Supports Time Warner Cable's VoIP Primary Line Service

Primal Solutions is supplying IP mediation and rating technology for Time Warner Cable's VoIP cable primary-line residential telephone service in Portland, Maine. The Primal solution collects data from Time Warner Cable's network and turns the network data into call detail records. Primal's solution summarizes the call detail records and sends them to the existing billing system so that phone charges appear on customers' regular Time Warner Cable monthly statement. Primal's Connect IXC also enables Time Warner Cable Digital Phone customers to see the detail of their calls online on a secure web site. Financial terms were not disclosed.
