Press release

MUNICH. Telefónica O2 Germany smoothes the initial access to IP telephony for businesses: The new telephony solutions O2 IP-Voice-Line and O2 IP-Voice-Pure enable business customers to use future-proof IP telephony solutions immediately. Whether companies want to continue to use their existing ISDN telephony system, or whether they plan to migrate to a completely different technology – the new products of O2 provide the appropriate solution for every customer.

O2 IP-Voice-Line is the entry-level solution for IP telephony in companies: businesses are connected to the IP voice network of Telefónica Germany via a gateway which is linked to the available telephone system. Additional technical adaptations or the replacement of the existing ISDN telephone system is not required. And, customers can continue to use their existing phone numbers.

With O2 IP-Voice-Pure companies opt for a consistent IP-based telephony solution and ideally gear up for future technological developments. The “Voice over IP” (VoIP) voice service is adapted to the requirements of businesses, depending on the size of the company and the number of required voice channels. IP-Voice-Pure builds up on the existing internet access, or can be used with any O2 internet access, provided an IP-enabled telephone system is available.

The fixed network portfolio is complemented by  O2 Business Preselection: With this option, customers keep their ISDN connection and their telephone system. O2 offers very favourable tariffs for all outbound calls – without any fixed contract period or monthly basic fees.

Karola Bode, Vice President Business, O2: “Companies have different fixed network telephony requirements. Our new VoIP products offer every single customer the right solution – from smooth migration to full transition.“ The basis of these services is the IP network operated by the Telefónica Group.

The business customer segment of O2 offers business customers modern and cost-efficient one-stop communication solutions: mobile communication, fixed network communication, internet access, virtual private networks and managed hosting. The company focuses on quality and on securing the future: business customers benefit from the know-how of O2 and the size of the Telefónica Group, one of the largest telecommunications providers worldwide.
