VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a technology that enables to make and receive phone calls through the internet. Voice is converted into packets of data, sent out over the internet through a broadband connection, and reassembled at the other end of the line. VoX provides an adapter box that enables its customers to make VoIP calls using a standard telephone.
According to VoX, the renewable contract with Unified Technologies Group (UTGI) includes take-or-pay provisions for at least 50,000 lines in the first year of service.
Ben Piilani, CEO of UTGI, said: With the synergy and strategic balance between VoX and UTGI, both the companies will work in developing and implementing new services and technologies.
Earlier in July 2008, VoX announced its agreement to provide VoIP digital phone services to the operating companies of Charles Street Partners in North America. The companies will market under the Clearband brand name in targeted markets throughout the US. VoX’s VoIP services will initially be deployed by CSP’s operating companies covering portions of Arizona, Maryland and Florida. After completion, CSP’s broadband network, using the WiMAX and wireless technologies, will offer data and voice capabilities to customers.
