Vonage Holdings Corp.'s Canadian division Vonage Canada announced on Thursday it selected Peer 1 Network Enterprises Inc. in order to provide Internet infrastructure for its Internet phone service roll-out to Canadian homes and businesses. The move will enable Vonage Canada to further expand its network, provide a redundancy and disaster recovery system and minimize service disruptions.
"Vonage is widely recognized as a pioneer in the VoIP marketplace. We are pleased that Vonage Canada has recognized Peer 1's ability to meet their needs and scale future growth to provide their customers with the consistent reliability they require," said Geoff Hampson, president and chief executive officer of Peer 1. "Peer 1 holds a unique position in the Canadian Internet infrastructure landscape in terms of being able to provide Vonage Canada with industry-leading network performance and top-quality customer care combined with data center space and expandable network capability any time it is needed."
"The general public expects and demands high-quality, reliable telephone service. Service interruption is unacceptable," said Bill Rainey, president of Vonage Canada. "For that reason, we decided that Peer 1 Network offered the best Internet network performance as well as the infrastructure that would allow us to deliver a reliable, scalable service to our customers, anytime and anywhere."
Vonage Canada made news last month when it teamed up with North American phone manufacturer VTech in order to market the IP8100-2 Broadband Cordless Phone System. The device comes with Vonage's Internet phone service built right in and offers consumers the flexibility of using lower-cost Internet-based phone services throughout their homes with utilizing an array multiple phones in multiple rooms.
"Vonage Canada's agreement with VTech makes using Internet phone service as easy as opening the box and plugging it in," said Joe Parent, vice president of marketing and business development, Vonage Canada last month. "With the VTech IP 8100-2 Broadband Cordless Phone System, consumers with high-speed Internet access can place multiple handsets anywhere in their home and start making calls over the Internet to anywhere in the world at a low monthly cost."
