Expedites Entry into Fast-Growing Market for Cloud-Based Business Communications

Orlando, Florida and Suva, Fiji, May 18, 2015 -- GENBAND, a recently named CNBC Disruptor 50 and leading provider of real time communications software solutions today announced that Vodafone Fiji, the country’s market leader and most innovative mobile provider, has selected GENBAND’s Nuvia™ UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) solution to offer its business customers a full suite of market-ready unified communications clients and services.

“With our business customers clamoring for unified communications capabilities, the choice was clear,” said Andrew Kumar, Vodafone Fiji’s Chief Technology Officer. “GENBAND is a long-time trusted partner and Nuvia gets us to market now with a rich set of services that are immediately compelling vs traditional PBX solutions. As a mobile provider, our customers expect a solution that helps them work from anywhere; Nuvia’s focus on mobility and ubiquitous collaboration is a logical extension of our services.”

GENBAND’s Nuvia Cloud UC enables businesses of any size to replace their outmoded, ineffective PBX hardware with cloud-based unified communications solutions backed by carrier-grade technology. The comprehensive feature set supports traditional business telephony phones and features, Windows/Mac and mobile clients. Nuvia is also designed to make it easy for multisite, multinational organizations to stay connected with UC services such as Presence, Instant Messaging and Collaboration tools. Users can work from anywhere via fixed or mobile broadband connection.

“We’re thrilled to keep growing our relationship with Vodafone Fiji, help them enter new markets and better serve their customers,” said David O’Connor, GENBAND’s Senior Vice President of Sales for Asia Pacific. “UCaaS is a growth market because customers instantly feel the value, and Nuvia enables Vodafone Fiji to deliver that value faster.”

GENBAND’s Nuvia solution leverages the millions of lines GENBAND already has deployed in leading service providers, and is the only cloud service able to reuse legacy Nortel IP phones. Nuvia is also extremely attractive and cost-effective for CS 1000 customers seeking a cloud-based solution that can preserve their endpoint investments.

Key Takeaways:

• Vodafone Fiji will now resell GENBAND’s Nuvia Cloud UC Solution, which delivers a comprehensive feature set backed by carrier-grade reliability.
• GENBAND combines extensive experience in providing next-generation solutions backed by a tradition of excellence, delivering the best of stability and innovation to its partners and customers.
