Velox launches cloud PBX in Singapore
In this article (5)
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.
