Net2Phone partners with SkyVision to expand voice services in Africa

Net2Phone, a leading global distributor-based provider of VOIP solutions, announced expansion of its voice solution availability in Africa by establishing a strategic partnership with SkyVision, a leading global IP telecommunications service provider.

Utilising Net2Phone solutions, SkyVision bundles its existing VSAT Internet access services with high-quality, low-cost calling solutions to all areas of Africa, using the least amount of bandwidth. With an emphasis on its customers' local or regional requirements, SkyVision will offer quality voice services, superior network connectivity and an extensive suite of both customised solutions and industry-standard services.

"Reliable connectivity is an integral and critical element of every customer's business," said Itai Galmor, SkyVision VP Marketing. "For this reason, SkyVision provides a converged solution that ensures voice traffic prioritisation to achieve business-grade quality. With the launch of our voice solutions, our customers can now access a low-cost, high-quality phone service with the versatile features and functionality that VOIP offers."

"At Net2Phone, we are increasingly seeing local and regional operators use VOIP to grow revenue and offer new services," said Jonah Fink, Senior VP of Net2Phone. "Net2Phone provides these operators, such as SkyVision, with a high-quality and internationally accessible VOIP solution while minimising the bandwidth requirement."

SkyVision's service will offer corporate customers low-cost calling plans and a global footprint with over 40 international virtual phone numbers.

With a service covering all of Africa and a variety of calling plans to choose from, SkyVision customers are able to enhance their organisations' operational effectiveness while substantially reducing costs.

"We worked closely with SkyVision's team to fully understand their customers' needs in order to design the right set of calling plans that respond to their market requirements," said Assaf Cohen, International Sales Manager at Net2Phone.
