Tundo enters UK IP telephony arena

NEWS IP telephony equipment provider, Tundo, has launched in the UK, signing an agreement with reseller Datafonix. Tundo - which has headquarters in the US, a development centre in Israel, and international headquarters in the Netherlands - will also shortly announce its first European customer, a Finnish ISP. However, it is also targeting ASPs and the enterprise market, where it will focus on enhancing PBXs (private branch exchanges) and call centres, as well as value added services such as unified messaging. Hanjo Huizing, executive VP international at Tundo, said: "Users are ready to make the move [to IP telephony], and the quality is as good or better than normal
telephony." He also claimed Tundo's technology scales up to around 100,000 users, and is more open than offerings from companies such as 3Com and Cisco.
