Vistula Communications Services Inc. announced that it has collaborated with HFCL Infotel Ltd. the first private telephony operator in Punjab state to launch the first niche consumer VoIP service in India.
Vistula Communications is a global supplier of flexible and reliable VoIP services to major telecommunications carriers, cable operators and Internet Service Providers.
Mahendra Nahata, Chairman of HITL said;
The combination of Vistula’s proven success in the VoIP industry, the fact that we can expect to launch the service within weeks of signing the contract and the calling card solution, which we believe has a great potential in India, were the most exciting propositions for us in choosing Vistula. With Vistula’s help, we’ll be able to bring the first niche VoIP service of its kind to India that will certainly attract customers both domestically and internationally. We are confident of an excellent customer response to this service which will be initially marketed to more than 300,000 of HITL’s already large subscriber base in Punjab.
As agreed upon, Vistula will integrate its V-Cube VoIP platform with HITL’s network, giving HITL a turn-key consumer VoIP service to market to retail and business clients.
The system will be fully hosted and managed by Vistula. HITL is expecting to launch the Vistula-enabled VoIP service by June 2006. On top of that Vistula will provide HITL with a pre-paid calling card solution which will give customers the ability to easily pay for international calls from virtually any computer terminal.
