Vodafone to push wireline services

Vodafone India has unveiled its strategy to drive growth through a strong foray in wireline services.

With the introduction of a suite of offerings for businesses in the wireline space, Vodafone Business Services (VBS) is all set to move beyond mobility solutions. VBS is targeting approximately 20 percent of its enterprise revenues coming from wireline services over the next five years.

Vodafone's wireline service is backed by a robust network infrastructure, comprising 120,000 kms of fibre backbone, over 350 PoPs across 130 cities and an ISO 27001 certified Network Operations Centre (NOC) for 24x7 performance management. This robust network provides an enterprise with high-speed and secure links between its multiple offices spread across various locations (India and overseas), enabling it to respond rapidly to its customers in the fast evolving paradigm of digital communication.

Naveen Chopra, director, Vodafone Business Services said "Having built a robust infrastructure over the last three years, we are now looking at wireline services as a key revenue driver for Vodafone Business Services. With our suite of offerings in this space, we are now a total communication services provider in the true sense. This is going to be one of our strategic priorities at VBS and we are expecting that it will contribute over 20 percent towards our enterprise revenues over the next five years."

The wireline services suite is a part of the total communication solutions, over and above the mobility and M2M services. This bouquet of integrated wireline services for businesses will ensure uninterrupted and secured communication and will especially empower Indian enterprises to keep pace with the evolution in digital communication.

Some of the key services offered by VBS under wireline umbrella include private leased circuits (national and international), MPLS based virtual private network (VPN), internet leased lines, office wireline voice, toll free services, and audio and video conferencing services.
