    The cloud voice platform company, Alianza, announced successful integration and new solution partnership with GLDS’ WinCable. GLDS is a provider of customer management, billing, and broadband service for SMEs. The new partnership is said to “dramatically” reduce the cost of VoIP services and at the same time simplifie VoIP management.

    Alianza and WinCable are together offering a cloud-based solution that includes comprehensive back-office functions and voice service delivery. Other services include number activation, customer service, billing, and account creation.

    According to the companies, the new partnership has so far been able to eliminate over 50% of the systems used to support and deliver VoIP and at the same time it has automated work-flow thus driving down costs of operation.

    The GLDS president Garrick Russel said in a statement that they believe the most agile approach and the lowest cost to broadband can be found in the cloud. He added that the new solution partnership will make it faster, easier, and less costly for both small and large service providers to manage and deploy VoIP.

    The two companies will be at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Denver.

  • Ubiquiti Networks Finally Makes Entrance Into VoIP Market

    Ubiquiti Networks Finally Makes Entrance Into VoIP Market

    Ubiquiti

    Ubiquiti Networks has recently announced their formal entry into the enterprise VoIP market with UniFi platform. This wireless communication vendor addresses wireless backhaul, video surveillance, routing, fixed wireless broadband, machine-to-machine communications, and enterprise Wi-Fi.

    The company’s business model is based on a community concept. In order to improve and develop their products, a group of services providers, distributors, and VARs work hand in hand with the engineers of the company. This in turn keeps the costs down, improves market time, and allows the company to have market prices that are considered disruptive by competitors.

    Ubiquiti was recently involved in an RFP involving their evaluation against four other different conventional Wi-Fi vendors and while the company may not offer the same wide set of features as you may find in other vendors, they still provide high quality Wi-Fi.

    On your first encounter with Ubiquiti, it is possible to have doubts as to whether the model could actually work. However, its community approach has created a scalable organization model that is very cost effective. The company has only 183 employees, 111 of whom are solely dedicated to R & D.

    The Ubiquiti revenues in FY08 totaled to $22.4 million and a whopping $320 million in FY13. During FY14, the company is anticipated to make $560 million. Most of the revenues come from the developing markets.

  • JAJAH Connects One Billionth Call, Promises "Genuine" UC


    JAJAH has announced that it has just connected its one billionth call – a 29-year-old woman in San Francisco who was calling her mother in India.

    Not bad going for a company that launched just three years ago as a web-based consumer VoIP service and now has has over 25 million users and partnerships with the likes of Intel, Microsoft and Yahoo!

    In announcing it billionth call, JAHAH said it was particularly special because it came via one of its partners – in this case Yahoo! – which uses the JAJAH platform to operate its Yahoo! Voice service.

    Earlier this month JAJAH CEO Trevor Healy said there is a "sea change" currently taking place in the communications industry – and that has resulted in JAJAH itself evolving from a consumer VoIP focus to become a global IP communications platform provider.

    The company is currently preparing a new "in the cloud" Unified Communications Platform able to manage any form of data communication.

    It claims this will open up a new phase of genuinely unified communications – something that has been hampered by issues with interoperability and integration.

  • Sipgate Launches VoIP Assault on US Landline Market


    Sipgate has launched a free VoIP service in the US aimed at capturing a share of the 100 million users that make up the landline market.

    Called sipgate one, the new internet-based service uses a VoIP phone – or softphone – and offers a fully-featured service.

    The package provides a free telephone number, no set-up costs and no monthly charges or minimums.Users can also make free calls to other Sipgate users.

    Sipgate says it only charges USD $1.9 cents per minute for calls made or received from wireline or mobile phones – which it says is cheaper than Skype’s rate.

    Thilo Salmon, CEO of Sipgate, said that other features offered include click-to-dial, flexible call routing, and an online voicemail interface.

    Based in San Francisco, Sipgate is a well-established in Europe where it has been operating its "network agnostic" phone service since 2004.

    "There is simply no barrier to people disconnecting their old phone lines anymore," he said.

    "Phone and cable companies have long been pushing voice plans in the region of USD $25 to $40 per month – which end up being as much as $60 or more with extra charges – and that’s just ridiculous.

    "Even with calls to other landlines and mobile phones, most users will spend less than $5 a month using sipgate one.

    "And for those people only receiving incoming calls on their VoIP phone, the service is completely free."

    Sipgate also announced plans to roll out a multi-user edition of the service, which will target small businesses also seeking to drop expensive landline offerings.

    Other features include:

    • Need to write down a number while driving? Record any phone conversation by pressing *6
    • Want to customize your voicemail? Upload an mp3
    • Want your calls to follow you? Have your home, office and mobile phone ring in parallel
    • Left your mobile phone at home? Simply go online and divert calls to your office line
    • Want to talk to friends in an ad-hoc conference? Bridge them with the touch of a button
    • Missed calls while on a flight? A list is waiting for you in your email

  • Verizon To Close VoiceWing VoIP Service


    Verizon is to shut its VoIP service VoiceWing on 31 March.

    Existing VoiceWing VoIP service customers have been contacted by Verizon Communications to inform them that it is withdrawing the offering from the end of March.

    The company does not report how many VoiceWing subscribers it has on its books.

    VoiceWing is likely to be replaced by a new venture, FiOS Digital Voice.

    Verizon recently launched ‘The Hub‘, a multifunction touch-screen home phone that connects to a broadband line.

    It also has plans to introduce a new VoIP package utilising its own fibre-optic connections.

    VoiceWing was launched five years ago by rebranding DeltaThree. It was set up to compete with Vonage.

    DeltaThree, which ran the back-end services for VoiceWing, has also been a victim of the times and has been running out of cash. It was recently delisted from Nasdaq.
