Communications infrastructure vendor Genband is launching NUViA, a suite of white-label hosted applications for cable and telco operators that includes videoconferencing, WebEx-like collaboration, HD voice and multimedia messaging.

Genband says its cable customers include Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision Systems, Liberty Global and Virgin Media. The company did not identify which service providers have been testing out NUViA.

According to the company, NUViA offers service providers the advantages of hosted services, such as a "pay-as-you-grow" business model and the ability to relatively quickly extend their service footprint. The NUViA Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) offering includes HD voice, video, multimedia messaging, mobility, conferencing, Web collaboration, desktop clients and fixed and mobile convergence.
