Talking Business Selects On-Communications as WiMAX Partner

Talking Business has selected On-Communications as a WiMAX Fixed Wireless Access Partner. On-Communications is a WiMAX FWA network operator in the UK.
 
Talking Business has also decided to resell its Internet connectivity services.
 
Talking Business will sell On-Communications WiMAX FWA services in association with converged voice solutions to both its existing customer base and new clients. It joins On-Communications’ other channel partners, who have found that the benefits WiMAX FWA Internet connectivity are of real interest to end-user organizations.
 
“I am always on the lookout for new products that can bring genuine innovation and incremental revenue to our current portfolio,” said Gordon McRoberts, Talking Business’ managing director. “The On-Communications WiMAX FWA service is very complimentary to our converged voice solutions as the guaranteed performance, symmetrical bandwidth and low latency means it is ideal for VoIP applications.
 
Talking Business has plans to use the WiMAX FWA connectivity to deliver SIP trunks for voice with the aim of migrating many of our legacy customers to converged VoIP systems. The company also has plans to offer On-Communications Diverse Backup solution to customers who have already made an investment in leased line or fibre technology, but need a cost effective secondary connection for backup.
 
“Talking Business has a long established reputation, built on a large and loyal customer base. It is exactly the profile and pedigree of reseller partner we are looking to work with,” said Andrew Saunders, sales and marketing manager at On-Communications. “Our new WiMAX network is optimized to support next generation IP services such as VoIP, hosting applications and virtual private networks (VPNs) and therefore is a great fit with Talking Business’ plans. We are looking forward to building a successful relationship with Gordon and his team at Talking Business.”
