Vox Telecom testing Cell C solutions
Vox Telecom CEO Douglas Reed says that the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the trend towards converged telecommunications services, adding that it is currently testing some mobile solutions from Cell C.
Many South African companies are set to launch converged voice and data products, including converged mobile data and voice services. Vox Telecom is no exception.
“We are ideally suited to take advantage of the convergence trend because traditionally we provided a mobile solution as a fixed line solution, and already have the relationships with all the suppliers and a large customer base,” said Reed.
“Currently we are investigating and testing corporate solutions with Cell C as well as VoIP SIP accounts for mobile customers,” Reed added.
Reed previously said that Vox is also in the process of moving its business products off ADSL solutions onto fibre.
“On our business stuff, we are trying to move all our businesses off ADSL solutions, onto fibre. We think it’s time,” he said.
“It’s quite a surprising market this; customers are demanding huge download speeds on their mobile phones and at home, but businesses are quite happy to work on a meg (MB), so we just [have] to re-educate businesses to the 10/15/20 meg sizes which is starting to happen now, the fibre prices are coming down.” he said.
“On the business side, we are having a massive push to changing everything to fibre,” Reed said.
