VoIP, Inc. Introduces Virtual Service Provider Resale Model for ``ISP,'' ``MSO'' & ``PCO'' Service Operators
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- VoIP, Inc. (OTCBB:VOII) today announced the unveiling of their Virtual Service Provider (VSP) resale model for service providers.
Using the industry-leading SIP protocol and a flexible back-end billing and call routing service, VoIP Inc. today announced a new service for network service providers. VoIP, Inc. will be offering a complete Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution that enables Internet service providers to offer low cost VoIP services to their customers quickly and without the normal high cost of a program rollout.
"We see a growing demand from mid-sized and smaller network service providers in the area of VoIP," says CEO Steven Ivester, "but the high price of operating a soft switch, termination network, billing system, and the related staffing is typically outside the cost effective range for these service providers. Our program is designed to be a very economical and efficient solution for these providers, enabling them to begin offering VoIP to their clients quickly and without a large investment of their time or money."
The VoIP, Inc. service allows ISPs, CLECs, cable operators, and other network service providers to quickly make VoIP services available to their customer base in a matter of weeks. Customized Web site signup forms, provisioning tools, individually customizable rate plans, and customized invoices are available as components of the system. Service providers can access and develop their own billing rates and products to offer to their customers.
VoIP, Inc.'s full solution provides several different Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) options which were developed and manufactured by the company's iMax division. Two-port Ethernet routers, DSL routers, and Packet Cable compliant routers are available with telephony interfaces for residential and home office end-users, though the system will function with any SIP-compliant CPE.
To quickly launch with low rates, service providers can utilize the PSTN termination services provided by eGlobalphone, another subsidiary of VoIP, Inc. With both United States domestic termination as well as extensive relationships with international carriers, eGlobalphone can assist in the immediate launch of outbound and inbound service for a large end user base with minimal delay to market and at a low cost of delivery via eGlobalphone's core network.
"We are very excited about our new offering. We have already received numerous inquiries and requests regarding our program. With the anticipated demand and projected growth of VoIP telephone service, we feel we have the right solution for service providers who want to add to their service package, but do not want to make the large investment required. In our program, service providers can begin offering VoIP services almost immediately. In addition, they will be able to focus their time and efforts on marketing and not be required to build significant additional infrastructure of hardware and employees," added Steven Ivester.
