StarHub and Cisco Systems Teams Up for IP Communication Solutions

StarHub (www.starhub.com), Singapore's innovative info-communications provider, and Cisco Systems®, are embarking on a collaborative effort that will help businesses converge their voice, video and data systems onto a single customizable platform, helping them reduce capital expenditures for telecommunications services and operational costs.

These enhanced Internet Protocol (IP)-based info-communications solutions, which include hosted IP telephony and managed IP-PBX (Private Branch Exchange) solutions, allow businesses to bring together disparate voice, video and data networks.

Said Dr Kaizad Heerjee, head of Business Markets, StarHub, "More and more companies are standardizing on the IP platform as the de facto platform for voice and data communications.

Cisco IP Communications is a complete enterprise-class system that securely integrates voice, video, and other collaborative data applications into intelligent network communications solutions. This system includes IP telephony, unified communications, rich-media conferencing, IP video broadcasting, and customer contact solutions.

This initiative with Cisco is a prelude to StarHub's focus on converged IP solutions that will be part of its next-generation info-communications platform over the next few years.

StarHub is a Singapore-based info-communications company providing a full range of information, communications and entertainment services over fixed, mobile and Internet platforms.
