November 25, 1998
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) New Voice-Over-IP
Service Dramatically Improves Costs, Quality
and Reach of Infonet's Communications Services
Infonet Services Corp., a world leader in
providing global communications services to
multinational enterprises, will offer Networks
Telephony Corp.'s (NTC) voice-over-IP
(VoIP) services, the companies announced
Tuesday.
The new Infonet voice service offers
customers high-quality IP telephony with the
ability to reach virtually any phone anywhere
in the world. Additionally, NTC's integrated
suite of Web-based back-office services will
handle all transaction processing and billing
for the new service. Services will become
available in January 1999.
"NTC's integrated suite of VoIP services
enables us to leapfrog the competition,
entering quickly the growing global IP voice
market with a ready-to-use solution," said
Jose Collazo, Infonet's chairman and
president.
"By utilizing NTC's proven expertise in global
phone-to-phone and PC-to-phone call
processing, Infonet is able to leverage its
existing worldwide network infrastructure to
immediately deliver these low-cost VoIP
services to a new market," Collazo
concluded.
How It Works
Using the new service, Infonet's new and
existing clients place telephone calls just as
they would normally. NTC delivers the call to
any phone, logs its duration and generates a
billing statement in real time.
Due to the efficiency of IP technology and
the use of Infonet's private, globally
managed network, NTC's services assure
quality, reliability and reduced costs.
Infonet's headquarter offices in the United
States, as well as its offices in Germany and
the United Kingdom, are already using the
service.
