"GENBAND has always been an
innovative partner for us and this project is no exception,"
said
Andrew Kumar, Vodafone
Fiji CTO. "By deploying this new solution, we're empowering
remote Pacific nations and their communities with access to
advanced real-time contextual communications."
GENBAND is providing Vodafone Fiji
with enhanced SIP Trunking services, voice over satellite,
local media anchoring and PRI gateways. Vodafone Fiji
leverages GENBAND's Application Server to deliver
country-specific hosted billing from its
Suva base while web collaboration,
auto-attendant, voicemail and WebRTC applications are
provided via Kandy Business Solutions.
Kiribati customers can access mobile, UC
services or SIP Trunk connectivity via the prepaid system,
acquiring only the services they need. This innovative
billing model further extends cost efficiencies and
leverages existing billing infrastructure investments.
Additionally, ATHKL can now provide PBXs to corporate
clients without investing in on-premises infrastructure,
delivering greater flexibility and advanced features
cost-effectively.
"Remote areas have been at a
disadvantage when aiming to access next-generation
services," said
David O'Connor,
GENBAND's Senior Vice President for APAC Sales. "Until now
that access has required massive investment. This
unprecedented solution is an important step forward in
extending advanced capabilities to these underserved
locations while providing a model for cost-efficient
delivery of hosted UC solutions."
