NTT Communications announced that its Arcstar
Unified Communications Services will introduce the SIP Trunking Plan to allow
Arcstar Global IP-VPN users to dial external lines for high-quality, low-rate
voice communications worldwide beginning May 31.
The service initially will be offered to
customers in Singapore and then gradually expanded to cover other regions,
making the plan available worldwide by March 2012. Incoming calls from external
lines will be covered under the plan from April 2012 at the earliest.
The SIP Trunking Plan
will reduce total cost of ownership by unifying voice and data communications
over Arcstar Global IP-VPN. Operation and maintenance will also be
simplified by this one-stop, end-to-end solution combining the necessary
systems and hardware for voice and data, including network and devices (VoIP
gateway).
Arcstar Unified Communications Services
currently offer IP-based internal dialing among global offices, including
within Japan, under the Extension Plan. The newly expanded Arcstar Unified
Communications Services will provide globally seamless unified voice, video,
web conferencing, voice messaging, presence and instant messaging for Arcstar
Global IP-VPN, backed by NTT Com’s experience and expertise in networks, cloud
computing and data centers.
To further meet growing market needs for
low-cost worldwide internal/external voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP)
services, Arcstar Unified Communications Services will add two more plans this
year: the UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) Plan in August and the
Contact Center Plan for globally seamless SaaS call-center services in
December. Enterprise customers will be able to enhance the efficiency of their
global communications by integrating these plans with the SIP Trunking Plan.
