TalkSwitch Intros Small Business VoIP Products in the UK
TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
Telephone systems manufacturer TalkSwitch announced on Wednesday it introduced its product line for the UK and Irish small business markets.
The TalkSwitch telephone systems seem to be a good option for small businesses with up to 32 telephone users per location. Each system is an integrated PABX station that includes Auto-Attendants, Voicemail and Caller Display; along with a set of calling features including Remote Extensions for connecting off-premises telephones and mobile devices.
"Entering the European market is an exciting milestone for our company," said Jan Scheeren, president and CEO, TalkSwitch. "Small businesses, whether in Europe or North America, need telephone systems that deliver the same high quality features as those provided to big business. TalkSwitch systems have provided that solution for North American companies, and today we are thrilled to offer that same level of service and value to the European small business community."
TalkSwitch systems are available in three configurations. The 24-CA-UK is capable of hooking up to 2 telephone lines, 4 local extensions and 8 remote extensions. The 48-CA-UK offers 4 telephone lines, 8 extensions and 8 remote extensions.
For companies looking to integrate VoIP-based communications, TalkSwitch offers the 48-CVA-UK, which adds SIP-based VoIP networking supporting 4 trunks per system. Users are able to maintain existing connections to the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), while at the same time obtaining cost-savings through Internet Telephony service providers.
TalkSwitch will be distributed in the UK and Ireland under an agreement with the Rocom Group. Customers will be able to purchase systems directly from Rocom, while interested British and Irish resellers will contact Rocom to add the TalkSwitch product line to their business offerings.
"We're very pleased to partner with TalkSwitch to manage their distribution in the UK and Ireland," said Richard Carter, business development director, Rocom Group. "Businesses seeking an entry level solution that provides ease of installation and setup along with features normally only associated with large PABX systems will benefit greatly from these products. In addition to traditional reseller channels for value-added services, the TalkSwitch will also be available online for direct sales. This strategy has helped TalkSwitch enjoy tremendous success in North America and promises to be very popular in the UK and Ireland."
TalkSwitch telephone systems will be priced at £399.95 GBP for the 24-CA-UK, £799.95 GBP for the 48-CA-UK and £999.95 GBP for the VoIP-equipped 48-CVA-UK. Systems will also be available online.
You might remember my article about TalkSwitch's similar deal with White Radio published last month. The telephone systems manufacturer chose White Radio as its Canadian distributor. The agreement would enable existing and new TalkSwitch resellers to now place their orders through White Radio, rather than directly with TalkSwitch.
The deal allowed TalkSwitch resellers to maintain all of the benefits they currently receive from the company including access to an exclusive reseller Web site with sales tools and marketing materials, technical support and webinars, the TalkSwitch &You reseller program, and dedicated account managers.
"The demand for TalkSwitch phone systems has grown so rapidly in the past couple of years that the time for a Canadian distributor is right," said TalkSwitch's Scheeren back then. "Our network of resellers will benefit greatly from this partnership. White Radio will help expand our presence in all regions of Canada and will allow us to ensure simplified ordering and more flexible support services."
