VoSKY Adds Another Major Telecom Distributor And Expands Into Canadian VoIP Market

VoSKY Technologies, one of the leader in delivering Skype for Business solutions, recently announced a distribution agreement for its VoSKY Exchange PBX-to-Skype gateways with White Radio, one of the leading telecommunications and technology distributors in Canada. The agreement will equip White Radio's large network of value-added resellers with a low-cost, highly versatile VoIP alternative for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), with no need to replace the existing PBX.

VoSKY Exchange gateways enhance business communications and dramatically lower communications costs by optimizing Skype, the largest free VoIP community, for use in the business environment. The Exchange platform maximizes VoIP savings by enabling free calling between company offices in different cities and/or countries, low-cost long distance and international calls to outside phones, remote PBX access for free calls from remote or mobile users, and Web Click-to-Call for free customer calls from corporate websites. Each of the five Exchange models can seamlessly integrate with any TDM or IP PBX phone system through analog trunk or station ports.

The VoSKY Exchange line will complement and extend White Radio's telecom product portfolio, which spans a full range of products from Avaya and nearly 20 other manufacturers.

"There is strong VoIP demand in the business community, but many companies that are not ready to upgrade to a full-blown IP PBX want a solution that offers more than office-to-office VoIP calling. VoSKY Exchange is a unique solution that fills that need seamlessly and inexpensively," said Jack Van Kessel, President and General Manager of White Radio. "In addition, VoSKY will enable our resellers to tap into the Skype for business market which offers significant new revenue opportunities."

"This agreement signifies another endorsement by a major telecom distributor for VoSKY, allowing us to extend our global leadership position in the Skype for business market as we expand our distribution channels into the Canadian market," said David Tang, Vice President of Global Marketing for VoSKY Technologies. "We see great potential in the Canadian VoIP market and are excited to partner with White Radio to capitalize on this growing opportunity."

VoSKY Exchange is the only enterprise-grade PBX-to-Skype gateway that has earned Skype certification ensuring seamless interoperability with Skype features and services. It optimizes Skype for the business environment by enabling VoIP applications without changes to existing PBX or phone equipment. VoSKY Exchange centralizes Skype provisioning and management, giving IT managers and network administrators full control. It also Skype-enables every phone extension in the office so that users can make and receive Skype calls without a PC and headset. Calls between Exchange-equipped offices and to other Skype users are free, while calls to traditional phones are charged at SkypeOut rates as low as 2 cents per minute -- even overseas.
