Two companies within the CentraTel Group, Masakhe and CentraCell, have been awarded a joint value-added network services (VANS) licence in the name of CentraVoIP.
The announcement coincides with the announcement of CentraCell`s voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) offering which was launched on 1 October.
"Masakhe will now be able to provide full voice solutions from PBX, GSM least-cost routing (LCR), national and international LCR solutions as well as VOIP offerings," says group marketing manager, De Wet Snyders.
"This is another one of our ongoing initiatives to provide our customers with a service that will prove cost-effective in a relatively short space of time," says Snyders.
"`Evolution not Revolution` is our go to market strategy for VOIP and other LCR products and this simply means customers should carefully consider replacing hardware or signing long-term contracts when attempting to save on telephony costs," continues Snyders.
Masakhe has a newly appointed managing director, Nick Zaranyika, while the entire group`s VOIP solution will be managed by solutions architect Larry Paslovsky.
"As with our entire product range, our VOIP solutions will be sold exclusively throughout the CentraTel group reseller channel," concludes Snyders.
