Otel Telecoms has become the first licenced national telecoms provider to offer enterprises a low-cost leased line package to enable stable and clear VoIP connections.
Offering the service through its channel partners nationwide, Otel has already deployed over 100 connections during its two-month long beta test phase.
?We believe this fundamentally changes the competitive landscape in South Africa,? says Otel?s last mile connectivity specialist, Senzo Nkumane.
?Otel Telecoms offer businesses a Cisco-based enterprise-grade leased line for much less ? and it uses the power and flexibility of our broadband network to create an attractively priced all-in-one communications solution that none of our competitors who use ADSL can match in stability, affordability and voice clarity,? he adds.
Last year, the rise in popularity of uncapped ADSL increased Internet usage, with video streaming, online music and large file download becoming the norm. This, in turn, added additional pressure on already over-contended ADSL exchanges.
The negative impact is that VoIP call quality over ADSL has deteriorated over time, with jitter, lost words and dropped calls causing frustration for business owners.
?It has become clear that ADSL has been relegated to a technology for residential use, where the ADSL exchanges are under less pressure,? explains Mohammad Patel, CEO of Otel Telecoms. ?Until Telkom completes the roll out of the 3700 MSANS, it has become impossible to run business internet and VoIP over ADSL.?
The new Otel Telecoms leased line solution is based on the stable, trusted and readily available national SDSL network.
Nkumane explains: ?Our aim is to move the client onto a stable platform. We will install fibre where available. If not, we?ll use copper until the exchange is upgraded.? Ultimately, we need to provide clear voice and quality Internet connections.?
The company?s eight-channel VoIP link retails for R599, while a symmetric 1:4 contention uncapped leased line Internet service is R2?499. A Cisco router is included for the duration of the contract.
