One of the UK’s top three Voice over IP providers to
small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) has joined forces with
Tiscali with the aim of bringing the benefits of emerging telecoms
innovation to smaller UK businesses.
Gradwell Dot Com is to work in partnership to promote and
deliver Tiscali’s
Voice Ready Broadband
and unbundledWholesale Line Voice and ADSLphone services
(WLVA) to the UK’s SoHo and SME business communities.
Gradwell partnership with Tiscali is designed to enable SMEs to
by merge their analogue telephone line, high quality broadband and
a fully featured IP-PBX service into a single product from a single
supplier.
In the WLVA product, Tiscali provides Gradwell with the whole
copper pair at the local exchange and converts both voice and data
into IP, routed straight into the Gradwell VoIP network. The result
is no traditional phone line rental, resulting, the firms say, in a
cost saving of over £11 per mont.
Commented Peter Gradwell, CEO of Gradwell Dot Com, “The key
problem SMEs have with VoIP is making sure the service is
consistent. By using [broadband] connected directly to the VoIP
network, we can provide SMEs with a high quality, consistent and
reliable end to end solution."
The SoHo and SME market will be a focal point for Tiscali in
2008 as the company looks to deliver tailor-made products, such as
Voice Ready and WLVA, to this extensive market sector.
WLVA is an ‘all in one’ service designed to enable resellers to
deliver tailor made, competitively priced line rental, voice and
data services over a single connection. WVLA is a wholesale, fully
unbundled service based on the unbundling capability in BT
exchanges. Resellers are provided with the line, full traditional
voice services and an ADSL based data connection in one
product.
These services will be bundled with the Gradwell PBX and Hosting
Services, ordered via the web and made available to the VAR
channel.
