Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has announced that it has deployed voice-over-IP (VoIP) platform for fixed line operator Versatel Communications, enabling the German firm to offer converged services to enterprise customers.

Through the launch of the vendor’s hiQ4200/4300 VoIP solution, Versatel will be able to immediately offer services such as IP Centrex and Customer Self Administration, enabling its business subscribers to use the full range of services centrally provided by Versatel, and also has complete control over the services in use.

According to Karsten Fuchs, Versatel’s head of Network, Service and Application Design, with the new platform, their enterprise customers can now directly connect their Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs) to Versatel via a cost effective IP connection. In addition, they are equipped to offer multimedia services to their business customers from a single central location. According to Versatel, the new offering will allow it to explore new business opportunities and thus expand its customer base.
