Redwood enhanced its DNX-1100 product in 2003, which helped the company establish itself as Europe’s leading technology player in the field of Value Added Network Services. The DNX-1100 is aimed at reducing both capital and operational expenditures, requirements more significant than ever for carriers operating on tight budgets. It is able to run multiple services, including mass calling, prepaid services, VoIP, Unified Messaging and conferencing. The DNX-1100 now supports a wider than ever range of protocols including IP, SS7, V5.2, GSM and SMS.

Among key deployments of the DNX-1100 in 2003 was the provision of one of Europe’s largest mass calling systems at KPN Telecom in The Netherlands: Mass calling deals with the specialized ability to process the huge volume of calls generated by mass media events. Popular 'reality TV' shows such as 'Big Brother' and ‘Pop Idol’ are well known mass call generators. This service type has been a key new revenue source for carriers. Redwood also provided Africa’s largest prepaid billing system to Nigeria’s incumbent telco, Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd  (Nitel). Aimed at combating bad debt and collection issues, the project will enable Nitel to make further infrastructure investments from the additional revenues generated.
