BT Openzone and On-Communications
The eagle eyed among you will have noticed the appearance of BT Openzone on the site recently.
This really is a very important milestone for the company, and indicative of the type of relationships and services we expect to offer going forward.
As UK market leaders in our field of Fixed Wireless Internet Access (FWIA), our product roadmap naturally leads us to work with the best companies in the industry; BT Openzone are the UK leaders in hot spot provision. The relationship and BT Openzone service is part of our strategy to layer in additional value and services around an intelligent, symmetrical broadband connection, importantly including enterprise mobile voice.
De facto, as a result of all the work we have done integrating our network with BT Openzone, we now have the capability of supporting BT Fusion Phone calls over our network wherever there is WiFi access into one of our connections – hence the availability of BT Openzone to and through our customers. This is our first proof point around adding enterprise mobility VoIP to our portfolio.
There are a number of other exciting projects we are currently working on around just this subject, and in a variety of flavours, but all have the focus of enabling our FWIA circuits as a bridging network between the worlds of enterprise data and mobile VoIP.
Watch this space.
