Net2Phone Unveils Wi-Fi VoIP Strategy

Net2Phone disclosed plans to deliver a suite of wholesale wireless VoIP solutions for other service providers. Net2Phone's wireless VoIP solutions will offer service providers SIP-based hosted wireless telephony services that can be sold to their customers as an enhancement to their existing product set.



Net2Phone would route all calls over wireless IP networks to its SIP-based platform, which performs call management, provides Class 5 features, billing, provisioning and enhanced services and distributes the infrastructure required for interconnecting onto and off of the PSTN network. Net2Phone said its solution offers service providers an affordable mobile telephony solution with a complete set of features and functionality, including inbound and outbound calling with phone number selection, call waiting, caller ID and voicemail.



IDT Corporation plans to deploy commercial Wi-Fi phone service in a series of locations throughout the U.S. using Net2Phone's wholesale service. The Ironbound area of Newark, New Jersey will be the first area covered and will enable users in residential and affordable housing to bypass local phone companies and make domestic and international phone calls via a wireless connection to the Internet. http://www.net2phone.com
