Voiceflex sales director Paul Taylor explained “Our decision to join the SIP Exchange was an easy one as we have been working with Virtual1 for some time. SIP is now an established product, however without quality connectivity SIP and hosted telephony will fail. Virtual1 deliver calls directly to our platform and not over the open internet, enabling QOS to be established end to end.”
Launched by Virtual1 in 2011, the SIP Exchange provides access to the solutions of multiple UK SIP providers via a highly secure, ring-fenced area on the Virtual1 core. The infrastructure allows customers to avoid both the need for upfront investment and for long term contracts with a single provider, thereby removing the traditional barriers to SIP migration. In 2012, the SIP Exchange was awarded Comms Business Award for Most Innovative Product (Professional Services).
Tom O’Hagan, Managing Director at Virtual1, explained “Virtual1 is committed to providing choice and freedom to our Partners and their customers, so that they can build their solution, their way. Voiceflex have a great SIP portfolio and the addition of their solutions to the SIP Exchange means we can ensure customers have access to the best possible range of SIP capabilities via the Virtual1 network.”
