Yahoo selects Jajah

Internet giant, Yahoo, has chosen Israeli start-up, Jajah, to power its Messenger Internet telephony service, says Israeli Diamond Portal.

Under the agreement, Jajah will start providing the technology and service for Yahoo's "Phone In" and "Phone Out" features in the third quarter of 2008. Since Yahoo's telephony option is a paid service, Jajah will be responsible for processing calls payments, and providing customer support and the network infrastructure.

Jajah, established in 2005, provides Web-activated telephony, using VOIP to connect traditional landline or mobile phones. The company has amassed over 10 million users within two years.

According to PR Web, GoIP International has established a local Eastern European office in Belgrade, Serbia, headed by Srdjan Djordjevic, a seasoned telecoms professional, to market and sell GoIP's "VOIP in a Box" solution to ISPs, carriers, MVNOs and ITSPs.

GoIP International's "VOIP in a Box" white-label platform enables any service provider to offer personalised and advanced VOIP services to customers.

"After multiple successful deliveries of our 'VOIP in a Box' solutions, we felt it was now time to expand and setup a strong local presence in the growing Eastern European broadband market to support the growing demand for VOIP services," explains Ivan Solvason, founder and CEO of GoIP International.

Broadcore, a provider of hosted VOIP PBX and managed business communications services, has selected Edgewater Networks' EdgeMarc Network Services Gateway for delivery of its SIP trunking service offering, states TechWhack.

The EdgeMarc will be used by Broadcore at the customer premises as a demarcation point for the SIP trunking service.

It provides security, connectivity, bandwidth management, prioritisation of voice over data, call admission control, passive call quality monitoring and VOIP signalling and packet capture. The EdgeMarc is also interoperable with leading PBX and phone system manufacturers and presents a consistent management interface to Broadcore regardless of the specific PBX in use.
