Slattery said Symbio chose to build in Singapore “as it is one of the key traffic hubs in Asia, and the company was looking forward to the “new challenges and opportunities that will arise as a result of us offering our services within Singapore and the region in general. “We have identified an opportunity for high-quality wholesale VoIP providers in the region and believe we can service this market better than it is currently being serviced.” According to Slattery, VoIP and IP services in general have experienced massive growth over recent years as the technologies have matured and the global communications market becomes increasingly IP-focussed, and he said Symbio “understand these technologies better than anyone, and have the skills and experience to build and operate these networks.” Slattery said Symbio Networks have an established reputation for the “high-quality and reliability of their VoIP network and services in Australia and New Zealand,” and, he added will look to take advantage of this along with “experience in building and operating these networks to provide more opportunities for carriers and service providers to obtain these services from Symbio within the region.” Symbio says its Singapore POP will be deployed at the Equinix Singapore Internet Business Exchange, and will initially provide direct terminating routes into Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, in addition to the current directs within Australia and New Zealand. Slattery said that, at a time when many international operators are cutting back on investment, Symbio continues to invest in their network. “The investment we have committed to in building our Asian presence has come as a result of much due diligence and market analysis. Our networks achieve excellent economies of scale; as a result of sound engineering proficiency. “We are additionally continuing to invest in our existing network in Australia and New Zealand as a result of strong organic growth. We foresee further future expansion and investment as our international footprint becomes more established.” Slattery says formal interconnect agreements with prospective customers in the Asian region will be discussed at the Asian Carriers Coference beginning in the Philippines in two days time. |
