  • Velox launches cloud PBX in Singapore

    Velox launches cloud PBX in Singapore

    Singapore startup Velox Networks has launched a new VoIP and cloud based private branch exchange (PBX) communications platform.

    Velox said the deployment will allow it to offer end-to-end communications services at a fraction of the costs charged by the incumbents – the company is promising business customers prices up to 95% lower than prevailing rates.

    The company has developed a customizable business communications platform               with functionalities including voicemail to email, groups, IVR and real-time updates on telecoms expenditure.

    The Velox mobile application will route landline calls to data connected mobile phones and customers will be able to port their current DID numbers to the Velox network.

    “Velox Networks aims to remove impediments to free-flowing communications with technological solutions so our customers can focus on relationships, ideas and growth, not on getting technology to work,” Velox founder and CEO Martin Nygate said.

    “With the internet as our network, no physical infrastructure and lean manpower requirements, Velox Networks is raising the bar for quality, inexpensive telecommunication services in Singapore.”

    He said Singapore and the wider region are lagging behind the US and Europe in the adoption of cloud-based PBXs, and are still relying on physical PBXs for their business communications needs.

    Colt Asia Cloud PBX Service to launch in April

    Colt Technology Services has announced it will launch its Colt Asia Cloud PBX Service for enterprises in the region starting in April.

    The company will offer an all-in-one solution combining PBX functionality, IP phones and remote access connectivity to the office.

    The service is aimed at alleviating customers from the need of purchasing their own PBX. Instead customers will use the PBX system installed within Colt’s data centers in exchange for a a small upfront cost and monthly fee.

    Calls made using the service within the same organization will be treated as internal extension numbers and be placeable for free.

    Numbers provided by the company will be able to use the full set of PBX features including call transfer, hold and conference calling.

    “Cloud computing is already a standard in today’s IT environment. This reality also applies to voice communications, including telephony, that are indispensable to corporate business,” Colt CCO for Asia Kenji Hioki said.

    “With this service, Colt is dramatically reducing the cost of acquiring PBX and corporate telephony, in turn reducing the associated maintenance and overhead expenses that come with a communications network spanning multiple sites.”
