Gordon McRoberts, Talking Business’ Managing Director said: “I am always on the lookout for new products that can bring genuine innovation and incremental revenue to our current portfolio. The On-Communications WiMAX FWA service is very complimentary to our converged voice solutions as the guaranteed performance, symmetrical bandwidth and low latency means it is ideal for VoIP applications.

“Talking Business will be leading a three pronged attack with the On-Communications service. Firstly we will use the WiMAX FWA connectivity to deliver SIP trunks for voice with the aim of migrating many of our legacy customers to converged VoIP systems. Second, knowing that the service is good enough for voice, there is no question that it going to great for data connections. And finally we can offer On-Communications Diverse Backup solution to customers who have already made an investment in leased line or fibre technology, but need a cost effective secondary connection for backup.”

Andrew Saunders, Sales Marketing Manager at On-Communications added: “Talking Business has a long established reputation, built on a large and loyal customer base. It is exactly the profile and pedigree of reseller partner we are looking to work with.

“Our new WiMAX network is optimised to support next generation IP services such as VoIP, hosting applications and virtual private networks (VPNs) and therefore is a great fit with Talking Business’ plans. We are looking forward to building a successful relationship with Gordon and his team at Talking Business.”
