Optus Subsidiary In Joint VoIP Sales Deal
Thursday, 03 August 2006
VoIP solutions provider BroadIP has announced a cooperative deal with Optus/SingTel subsidiary Uecomm to jointly take IP Telephony solutions to the SME market.

The agreement with data specialist Uecomm will see the two companies work together selling and delivering VoIP services and data telecommunication solutions for the small and medium-sized business market.

Under the terms of the agreement, BroadIP will provide the termination and the customer premises solution, while Uecomm will provide the data component.

Vaz Hovanessian, Chairman of parent company Broad Investments, said: "Since turning our focus on business VoIP solutions the demand from SME's and corporates for VoIP and IPT has grown considerably and Uecomm's ability and willingness to provide BroadIP the best data services solution to deliver IPT has made them the perfect partner."

Uecomm, a leading dark fibre and network provider which was acquired by Optus in 2004 specialises in high bandwidth data sales. The carrier has an extensive network including metropolitan Ethernet services with customers in the corporates and government markets. Uecomm also provides wholesale bandwidth to other service providers across its network which spans Perth Adelaide and Canberra as well as advanced fibre optic networks located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

BroadIUp sees the hook up as a chance to leverage its strategic relationship with the National Telecoms Group (NTG) which provides it with "a substantial lead generation ability".

Hovanessian is betting that it even a if a small percentage of the leads expected to be generated are converted it would make s significant contribution to BroadIP's bottom line over the next 12 months, without even factoring the services and hardware sales.

"BroadIP intends to become a significant player in the fast growing SME and Corporate VoIP and IP Telephony market and the Uecomm partnership is an important step towards that direction," said Hovanessian.

Uecomm's Director of Strategy, Brendan Park, said "We are excited by the prospect of working ith BroadIP. The VoIP market is growing rapidly and will continue to grow and mature over the next two to three years. We are looking forward to a relationship with BroadIP that will bring mutual rewards.
