A new telecommunications company is set to launch in SA this week, aimed at providing solutions for business and residential needs.
TalkNet Holdings is launching TalkNet Africa, a voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) solutions and services provider.
The company, which operates and owns an internationally distributed network in partnership with TalkNet Australia, will offer call-cost reduction and network-based services in SA, it said in a statement.
TalkNet Africa claims it will be able to offer cost-effective services and products to clients by simplifying the implementation of VOIP through placing a gateway on the network side of the telephone exchange.
The company says it can replicate the "look and feel" of PSTN from a customer`s existing workflow patterns through the use of existing handsets, which means there is no need for user education or training for staff or replacement of existing infrastructures.
