WTL cements position as global leader in VoIP equipment market.
13 August 2019 – WTL and edpnet today announced that Belgium’s first all-VoIP network is now live with businesses benefiting from high-quality, cost effective voice services.
Established in 1999, edpnet is a fast-growing mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) providing voice services in Belgium, The Netherlands and Russia. In Belgium edpnet interconnects to Proximus, the country’s largest telecoms company which is majority owned by the Belgium Government.
edpnet has become the first operator in Belgium to switch its traffic from traditional ISDN to a VoIP platform. This move is an investment for edpnet’s future growth as it is now very easy to add more capacity. Multi-award-winning World Telecom Labs is a long-term supplier to both edpnet and Proximus and was chosen once again to help edpnet with its migration to VoIP.
edpnet has deployed WTL’s specialist VoIP switches to deliver its VoIP links to improve the quality of calls, ensure that the network is always available and optimise bandwidth capacity without compromising voice quality.
WTL’s switches have been specifically designed to replace the huge, expensive, maintenance-heavy switches that have traditionally been used to transfer VoIP traffic onto other networks. For edpnet, WTL’s suite of switches have a number of advantages over traditional switches including: Increased capacity, greater flexibility, high reliability even under very heavy traffic loads and full redundancy.
Joachim Slabbaert, COO edpnet said WTL is a technologically innovative company whose team really understand what VoIP operators want and need. We buy from them because they do what they say – improve our network and reduce our costs. This migration is a huge milestone for our company and has been a complete success thanks to the help and support of the experienced VoIP team at WTL
.
Leigh Smith, MD of WTL, said Congratulations to edpnet on its achievement of this landmark VoIP interconnect. We are delighted to have been part of the company’s past, current and future successes. Passing the tests of Tier 1 operators like Proximus just helps to prove our claims that our VoIP equipment is the most reliable and secure offering on the global market enabling challenger operators like edpnet to offer competitive and cost-effective voice services.
We have created a real niche for ourselves as an innovative company with proven techniques to improve the quality, bandwidth efficiency and reliability of VoIP networks. Many VoIP operators simply don’t realise that there are myriad ways in which their network can be optimized to increase capacity and reduce costs.
WTL’s VoIP optimisation services and equipment are being used by a number of operators throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
