VoIP in Europe

One of the world's leading providers of VoIP products, services and developers solutions, Media5 Corporation, has embarked on an aggressive growth strategy and expects to more than double its revenues in Europe within the next three years, despite the economic downturn.

To support the company's growth in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, the company has recently expanded its sales force worldwide, doubling the number of sales representatives, distributors and resellers. In addition, its core product line of Mediatrix VoIP gateways continues to be widely deployed by telecommunications carriers, service providers, network equipment manufacturers, and enterprises throughout Europe.

Leveraging their years of experience in VOIP, Media5 has also introduced several new product lines for the European market including:

• Mediatrix iPBX: A fully-featured IP-PBX and VoIP Gateway providing SIP Trunk terminations for a remote service provider and offering telephony interfaces for fax, modems and analogue phones in the SMB segment.
• Mediatrix LP Series: VoIP Access Devices offering Long-Loop and lightning protection for more demanding telephony conditions.
• Mediatrix Boss: Secure and survivable multi-function devices combining VoIP IAD, Gateway, Survivability, IP Router, SIP aware NAT/Firewall, VPN functionality, and QoS control.
• Media5 fone: A suite of SIP-based mobile VoIP (mVoIP) and Unified Communications softclient applications enabling end-users to make VoIP calls using their smartphone with any WLAN and Packet Data (3G, 4G) available networks.

"We are being very strategic with our global expansion efforts," stated Philippe Babin, General Manager of Media5 Corporation. "We have worked diligently to develop the proper strategy, infrastructure and sales/support team to ensure success on a global scale. We are confident that VoIP will continue to be a significant catalyst for a change in the way that service providers, enterprises and consumers use communications."

VoIP is challenging established technologies with the introduction of products and services that meet the needs of modern, technology savvy businesses. Consequently, service providers in Europe are aggressively looking for ways to offer VoIP to consumers and migrate toward unified communications.
