Weekly UpdatesNet2Phone, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTOP), Newark, N.J., a leading provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) services, has launched a new hub in Hong Kong, which will meet the calling needs of its customers more efficiently by processing and terminating regional traffic within Asia.
The new Hong Kong hub will significantly improve reliability and voice quality of Net2Phone's services by reducing the latency associated with processing and terminating calls in regions other than their point of destination. Customer calling patterns within Asia have shown that the majority of calls placed stay within the region. For example, the majority of international calls placed from mainland China are to Hong Kong and Taiwan. As such, it is more efficient to route these calls within the continent via the Hong Kong hub, rather than through Net2Phone's other gateways around the globe.
"Asia presents a great opportunity for our services, and with this hub we will now be able to provide the quality of service necessary to better support our expanding operations," said Stephen Greenberg, CEO of Net2Phone.
The new major point of presence is just one component of Net2Phone's larger Asian expansion where it is working to deploy a variety of end-to-end VoIP solutions to distributors and channel partners. This launch comes on the heels of the launch of Net2Phone's recently expanded hub in the United Kingdom.
