Massachusetts-based Network integrator PeerApp provides Internet service providers the tools to manage peer-to-peer networks and recently joined the Broadband Services Forum (BSF) to join other major technology leaders that include Juniper Networks and Microsoft.

Network integrator PeerApp’s first product offering as part of BSF is the UltraBand 2000, a product designed to help ISP’s reduce Internet traffic and help with network efficiency.  ISPs have issues typically with bandwidth charges, particularly as subscribers start using P2P for entertainment, news and programming that take up approximately 70% of all global Internet traffic.

The BSF chairman and director of platform and technology management at Telkom Austria said that he is excited to hear about the new partner PeerApp’s membership to the BSF.  He states that the BSF is the only place where all parts of the broadband value chain, including telcos and network integrators, technology and content providers can convene to talk about the future of the industry.  The addition of PeerApp brings a new and welcome perspective to the BSF.

Network integrator PeerApp will be able to collaborate on technology that will help ISP’s compete in the industry, particularly when it comes to the booming movie and TV program distribution market.  The ultimate goal of the BSF is to enrich the experience of Internet users.  The BSF will also work with network integrators like PeerApp to ensure that royalties and copyright fees are being satisfied and to legitimize the P2P process.     

The Broadband Services Forum offers leadership and direction for members of the broadband services market, addressing both business issues and technology in a way that defines and improves the way the Internet operates.

Network integrator PeerApp, Inc. is a top provider of P2P solutions.  The company develops and services technologies and products that can help improve speed and bandwidth consumed by traffic to make  network efficiency better.
