Telephony costs

IP Telecom said it achieved significant growth in 2016, with a substantial part of its expansion resulting from strategic partnerships and through wholesale deals with other companies.

"We're delighted that Radius Technologies have chosen IP Telecom to provide their VoIP infrastructure. We look forward to working with Radius Technologies in 2017 and strengthening the SME and Enterprise VoIP structures for customers, helping them to save money on their telephony costs," said IP Telecom chief executive Shena Brien.

Radius managing director Jerry Buckley said the partnership would deliver benefits and savings to his company.

“We made the decision to change provider as we need to move quickly to service our customers’ demands. The savings and technology benefits are massive and companies don’t just want it, they absolutely need to have it,” he said.
