Entanet Expects Massive Growth In Hosted VoIP Sales


(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Entanet, the pioneering channel-focused provider of wholesale voice and data connectivity solutions, is aiming to achieve significant growth in its hosted VoIP and SIP trunking services in 2011.

The company has long operated its own VoIP platform and its existing channel partners are already able to resell its established business class hosted VoIP, easy pre-pay, customised and SIP trunking services known respectively as VoIP Enrich, VoIP Express, VoIP Elite and VoIP EasyAccess. Entanets VoIP development team continually makes enhancements to the services making them even easier to install and manage, as well as provide additional features for users.



Elsa Chen, General Manager of Entanet, said: For any reseller thats currently selling broadband and other data connectivity services, or traditional PBX related telephony sales, VoIP is an easy and essential step to take to diversify their revenue streams and set themselves up for further growth. While weve included VoIP in our product set for several years, weve seen the level of interest grow quite significantly in the past 12 months and it continues to accelerate. Businesses of all sizes are starting to realise that they can do more with their broadband and leased line connections than access and distribute information and the growing acceptance of the concept of hosted applications has been a big driver in VoIP coming to the fore. Weve seen a noticeable rise in the number of enquiries our partners are making for VoIP services and are anticipating further growth in the current year and into 2012.

One of the keys to success with hosted VoIP, she noted, is being able to deliver reliable and consistent levels of connectivity. For good quality VoIP you need good quality connections. As we have our own nationwide network, Entanet can guarantee the highest levels of consistency and Quality of Service so our partners can be totally confident that our hosted VoIP services will meet customer expectations.


Chen said that Entanet has targeted 100 percent growth for its VoIP business for both the current year and 2012. All of that growth will be driven through our reseller partners. Were at a significant inflection point in the development of this market and well ensure that we carry our partners with us as we ride on that growth wave.

Entanets two most prominent services are VoIP Enrich and VoIP EasyAccess. VoIP Enrich provides channel partners with the ideal platform on which to build a profitable business IP telephony proposition. A hosted, business-class IP voice service, it comes with features such as hunt groups, call queuing, auto attendant and call recording said Chen. Day-to-day management is via an easy to use online portal with extensive functionality. The VoIP Enrich management portal can be white-labelled so that partners can present the service as their own, she added while every section of the site has comprehensive on-the-page help and guidance so that customers can be self sufficient. This is important in minimising the time partners have to spend helping their end users themselves.

For users with existing PBXs, the VoIP EasyAccess service provides SIP trunking with call termination capabilities and full UK geographical numbering (01 and 02 telephone numbers) and 0845 numbers. With the diversity of VoIP options out there, we think having a good SIP trunking service is an important service for partners because it still gives them an opportunity to build new customer relationships where VoIP has already been implemented.

Healthy margins are available for partners on all initial sales of Entanet VoIP services and hardware, plus a monthly revenue income from recurring charges.

Further support is provided to partners too. All the hosted services are available as white-label options, enabling partners to offer them under their own brand said Chen. This extends to our VoIP management portals, sales literature and billing options. Entanets hosted VoIP servers are located and backed-up in diverse data centre locations throughout the UK and supported 24/7 by the companys own technical support teams and Network Operations Centre.
