Net2Phone Launches Suite of Corporate VoIP Solutions
Thursday October 9, 8:00 am ET
NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2003--Net2Phone Global Services (NGS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Net2Phone, (Nasdaq: NTOP - News), today introduced a suite of VoIP solutions targeting small and medium sized enterprises. Net2Phone's Max Private Voice Network (PVN) provides a combination of free calls within a controlled IP network in addition to low-cost off-net calls to any phone in the world, irrespective of the user's location or current PBX infrastructure or technology.
Net2Phone's Max PVN solution provides enterprises with a flexible set of features for VoIP calling, including:
· Ability to leverage existing telecom infrastructure, including existing PBXs
· Full suite of VoIP-enabling products to meet the needs of both corporate headquarters as well as remote offices
· Free on-net and low-cost off-net termination globally, utilizing Net2Phone's robust VoIP platform and network
· Extension of free on-net calling to satellite offices, suppliers and customers
· VoIP calling utilizing both private and public IP networks
· Remote dial-in feature, empowering authorized users to access their PVN and then initiate calls to other on-net or off-net phone numbers
· A flexible telecom management software package, giving customers a choice between premise-based software that functions like a VoIP VPN and a hosted IP Centrex solution with a full-suite of administrative tools to fit customer's needs.
Max PVN enables multiple users in various locations to connect both analog and digital PBXs or regular phones using a software-based management system, and then place calls either on-net or to any telephone around the world. Directly targeted to small to mid-sized businesses with multiple sites, Max PVN allows customers to leverage their existing IP connectivity to place free calls within their corporate periphery as well as extend their controlled calling environment to key customers. By adding cost-effective equipment to satellite offices or key business contacts, Max PVN empowers businesses to reduce the cost of inter-office calls considerably as well as benefit from Net2Phone's low global calling rates.
"The Max PVN adds value and functionality to an existing PBX or corporate telecom solution by incorporating both on-net and off-net calling, enabling a quick return on investment for any business making international calls," said Simon McIver, Director of Enterprise Products at Net2Phone Global Services. "By giving customers a choice in products as well as a suite of options to manage their telecom services, we can customize the right solution for each business."
To better reach the enterprise demographic, Net2Phone is partnering with VARs, systems integrators, corporate bandwidth providers and PBX resellers to sell Max PVN solutions globally. Because the Max PVN builds on businesses' existing telecommunications solutions, distributors are able to either bundle or upsell Max PVN as part of an overall telecoms IP solution. Distributors are further incentivized to sell Max PVN as they can receive a percentage of the recurring revenue generated from off-net global calling, compared with a one-time sale of telecom equipment and services.
"The benefits of VoIP are ringing true from both an economic and flexibility perspective. Max PVN gives us the ability to offer flexible telecom solutions to our enterprise customers, based on their individual needs. You're not restricted to particular telephones, PBXs, or even IP Phones, which allows our customers to get comfortable with whichever infrastructure works best for their needs," said Patrick Cardozo, President of Newcourt Systems Inc., a PVN distributor and hosted service provider based in Canada. "At the same time, Max PVN still provides the benefits of free calls between any user-defined IP environment and incredible savings on our long distance and international phone calls."
Delivering corporate solutions is another step in Net2Phone's strategy to offer hosted telecommunications solutions globally, enabling partners to offer low-cost VoIP services to their customers quickly, easily and at a low incremental cost. Net2Phone Global Services empowers its partners with the tools they need to offer consumer and corporate customers a full suite of telecommunications services, including calling cards, corporate solutions, VoIP services for Internet cafes and public call centers, and prefix code dialing services.
