Wave Debuts Hosted Voice

Wave Broadband has introduced hosted voice for business customers. The cloud-based phone system replaces legacy, installed PBX switches, runs on Wave’s fiber Internet backbone, and efficiently scales with businesses as they grow.

The platform gives businesses the benefits of VoIP technology – namely cost and scalability – by removing the burden of maintaining the physical pieces and management of traditional phone systems. They can pay a flat fee per phone per month, and as their business grows, they can add new users.

“For businesses, the promise of the cloud lies in making core processes both more efficient and affordable than before,” said Harold Zeitz, Wave president and COO. “As a cloud-based phone platform, hosted voice delivers on this promise and is a great addition to our already robust portfolio of commercial Internet and data services.”

Wave will be able to update the hosted voice system with new capabilities, as clients request them, without equipment upgrades or installations. Mobility functions will let customers connect their employees’ mobile devices and manage the administration of their system through a simplified Web-based app.
