VoIP Trends in the Middle East

Despite regulatory challenges reinforced by large Telco’s, it is becoming hard to ignore the rising demand of VoIP Service Providers in most of the Middle Eastern countries where VoIP is regulated.

Start ups are usually providing call shop and SIP services to their customers, whereas bigger service providers are focusing on capitalising on the ever growing wholesale market share, being prepared for any major change pertaining to VoIP regulations; which are speculated to take place sooner than later.

With a solution that can be hosted and run in a different geographic location, IPsmarx caters to service providers whom are competing to capitalise and get into the Middle Eastern markets that are VoIP thirsty. From Callshop and Callback services to Wholesale and Multi Tenant IP-PBX systems, IPsmarx has successfully designed and deployed systems with features and services tuned to meet the demands and ease the challenges of every customer.

How to Become a Powerful VoIP Service Provider to the SMB Market

At IPsmarx we have seen a rapid demand for service providers wanting to offer VoIP to enterprises. Everyday more and more small and medium sized businesses are switching to VoIP, thus creating an opportunity for the provider. By implementing IP-PBX systems, businesses will be able to see results in their phone bill savings as well as the option to have extensions outside the office network.

Undeniably the trend in 2011 is that service providers that used to sell traditional PBX systems are now also transitioning to VoIP solutions, like the IPsmarx Multi-tenant IP-PBX . The motivation is to be able to offer their customers unique advantages that only VoIP can provide.

One significant advantage is the ability to offer companies the option to set up extensions as mobile smart phones; this is a tremendous communications milestone! IPsmarx is proud to be part of this VoIP mobile era as we released IPsmarx Breeze, a mobile dialer for smartphones, making our Multi-tenant IP-PBX solution one of the most complete solution offerings in the world.

Besides IPsmarx Breeze, we offer service providers the opportunity to compete in the SMB market by adding our Wholesale solution.  This can be implemented when their customers already own “on premises IP-PBX systems”; some service providers would refer to this as the ability to support SIP trunks.

We invite service providers of traditional PBX systems to enter into the VoIP space. This move will ensure you prevail, by staying current with new evolving technology available. Please do not hesitate to contact IPsmarx sales representative if you want to inquire for IPsmarx solutions.
