Panasonic and Superinternet Launch Industry's First Cost-Effective, Integrated Telecommunications Solution

( 1 Jan 2008 )

Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific has launched a new integrated communications system that boasts overall savings of as much as 60 percent over existing systems in Singapore. Claimed to be the industry's first cost-effective, all-in-one telecommunications solution, the system is the result of a partnership between Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific and SuperInternet, an advanced unified communications provider.

Known as Private Branch Exchange-Integrated Service Packet Routing Interchange (PBX-ISPRI), the integrated system supports multiple calling channels, with up to 24 Direct Dial In (DDI) numbers on a single telephone line.

PBX-ISPRI enables companies to enjoy the conveniences that come with having dedicated telephone numbers for staff without incurring the high costs of similar services currently available in the market. In addition, businesses using the PBX-ISPRI can enjoy on average, about 60 percent of savings on one-time set-up costs and monthly subscriptions.

"Many companies, particularly small and medium-sized firms, have not been able to tap on the benefits of sophisticated communications systems with dedicated phone numbers for staff due to the high costs. In view of this, Panasonic has taken the lead to develop this affordable solution to cater to their business needs," Matsumoto Wataru, Director of Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific, commented. "We are pleased to partner with SuperInternet to leverage their expertise in providing quality telecommunications services. We are confident that this partnership will bring about win-win solutions to add value and support the business needs of our customers."

SuperInternet will be launching three new service plans—the ISPRI-3, ISPRI-4 and ISPRI-6. Specially developed with SMEs in mind, the new XLVoice ISPRI service plans will provide customers with eight, 10 and 24 DDI numbers with monthly subscriptions from S$99. Each of these service plans includes the necessary infrastructure equipment on managed basis, installation as well as onsite support throughout the subscription of the service. In addition to voice services, XLVoice will be offering customers an option to subscribe to broadband Internet service plans soon. With this, subscribers can unify their business communications infrastructure in future, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain separate equipment and contracts, thereby further reducing costs.
