Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Australian managed VOIP services and network provider, Symbio Networks, has expanded into the Asian region with regulatory approval for the deployment of its Point of Presence (POP) service into Singapore, offering live services from next month.
Symbio wholesale manager, Alastair Slattery said
today that, after months of planning and market analysis, the company
had obtained a services-based operator license from the Singaporean
regulatory body, the IDA, to allow it to expand its network and to
provide direct termination services into key destinations throughout
South-East Asia for carriers and service providers via SIP or H323
VoIP-interconnect.
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.
