Viasat Introduces
Feature-Rich, High-Quality Satellite-Based
Internet Phone Service for Small and Medium
Businesses
Oct. 21, 2020
Viasat Inc. announced the
availability of Viasat Business Voice – a new
cloud-based phone service optimized to work over
Viasat's high-speed, high-quality satellite
network. When combined with the Company's
advanced Business Internet and Business
Hotspots, Viasat Business Voice will provide
small and medium businesses (SMBs) with
enterprise-grade tools enabling them to do
business anywhere, even in the hardest-to-reach
locations.
According to
FinancesOnline, the cost-savings of switching
from a landline phone service to a voice over
internet protocol (VoIP) system are significant
and range from 30% to 75% across monthly bill,
local calls and operational costs. The Viasat
Business Voice service now offers SMB customers
an opportunity to maximize operational
efficiencies and reduce costs.
Viasat Business Voice
offers best-in-class VoIP features and
capabilities including: up to four-lines of
voice (including one desktop phone for each
line); a mobile-dialing app with follow-me
capabilities that allows users to answer calls
made to their business phone number on any cell
or internet connection when away from the
office; network prioritization for reliable and
clear connections; unlimited local number
calling (U.S., Mexico and Canada); number
portability; and traditional business phone
features: three-way calling, call transfer, call
forwarding, call waiting, directory listing,
caller ID, voicemail and do-not-disturb.
"Businesses like
restaurants, boutiques, professional and
personal services, public administration,
construction and more no longer need to settle
for traditional, expensive landline phone
service or unreliable cell coverage to scale
business communications," said Cody Catalena,
vice president and general manager, Global
Business Solutions, Viasat. "Viasat is committed
to bringing enterprise-quality communication
services to SMB customers where cable and fiber
are unable to provide service. Our new Business
Voice service is another example of how our
satellite-based connectivity is helping
businesses remain competitive by adopting the
latest technologies no matter where they are
located."
