Verizon Business Offers New IP Capabilities to Make Adoption of Unified

These Verizon capabilities are compelling options for enterprises already using Verizon Private IP, VoIP or IP Toll-free contact center services as part of their overall UC&C strategy.

VIPER, available to Verizon Business VoIP customers in the U.S. and Europe, enables customers to benefit from cost savings for business-to-business IP calling.  The new capability is enabled in the Verizon network and does not require additional customer hardware or software.  As Verizon Business is a major provider of IP Trunking and VoIP offerings with a large and rapidly growing customer base, the VIPER offer provides a significant savings opportunity for customers.  The capability can be leveraged with any VIPER customer, automatically enrolling organizations in a user community.

Hub in one European location

Hosted IP Centrex customers in Europe can now benefit from centralizing a hub in one European location and extending VoIP capabilities ? including the enhanced features and benefits of UC&C ? to multiple European office locations.  The centralized multi-site, multi-country platform eliminates the need for in-country voice trunks and additional TDM/IP gateways and can support emergency calls from any of the remote locations.  Also available with this capability is a new rate plan that allows calls between countries where Verizon VoIP is available to be billed at the domestic rate for the terminating country. Given that approximately 30 percent of calls made in Europe are between countries, this option can deliver significant savings for Verizon customers.
