MTN Targets Fixed Phones


Aug 08, 2011 (Nairobi Star/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- MTN Business Kenya has ventured in to fixed telephone services with the launch of MTN Managed IP PBX service. The new solution merges data and voice to deliver telephony services to businesses over an Internet Protocol(IP) service making teleconferencing possible. Tom Omariba, Managing Director, MTN Business Kenya said ,"With the shift to Internet Protocol-driven networks, the possibility of replacing outdated communication technologies with software-driven solutions has become a distinct reality".



The center of telephony for many companies is traditionally a hardware device which manages the internal communications of a private organisation but as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) matures, the hardware PBX has become increasingly irrelevant. " All of its functions can be replaced by software, while a range of additional functionality can be introduced," he said. Fixed call rates will be 50 per cent lower to cost Sh3 per minute , while for most international calls , it will cost users 2 US cents per minute. The service allows people to make conference calls within one network at no extra cost.
