BroadSoft has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Movial Applications Oy, its affiliate focused on client products and that the company will now focus on growing its software development and user experience services business.  

 

The closing of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. Movial will continue to service operators with IP Communications device solutions on Android, other Linux based systems and Open source IMS solutions, as well as work with SOCs on hardware acceleration capabilities to unlock optimized user experiences.
