International Personal Communication: Expanding Choice of Telecom Services
India is emerging as a communication hub with significant share of global traffic. The increasing global activities are resulting in upward moving telecommunications traffic flowing in and out of the country. Similarly, Indian telecom companies with global operations through organic growth are ramping up inorganic growth via acquisitions e.g. Teleglobe by Tata, Flag, Vanco, Yipes and eWave by Reliance GlobalCom and EIG, Unity, I-Me-We Consortium participation by Bharti.
For corporate India, to cater to new realities of 24*7 business operations the reliable international communications services has become a necassity. The Indian telecom service providers now make available required services via the point or presence in numerous countries and owned network ensuring quality and cost. Few services available to international business and trade companies include bandwidth (managed, capacity and IPLC), IP (transit, Ethernet, MPLS VPN and direct routes), Co-location (cage, hosting, remote hand and eyes) and voice (A-Z voice termination, SIP trunking, VoIP, hosted contact centre and IP Centrex) services.
Similarly, international business professionals increasing need to match or surpass the personal productivity standard. Let me suggest few convenient and user friendly services that shall be beneficial for the International business executives many of whom take at least fifty percent travel during a working month. An increasing number of such executives find International communication services as critical component of their productivity and efficiency matrix. These services not only save travel time and communication cost but also help put together result oriented virtual teams.
Virtual Calling Card shall help user make substantial savings while making India outbound or inbound calling. Through a toll free or toll number and access PIN, user can make overseas calls from any mobile, landline or payphone at economy rates. The virtual calling cards are available in select or flexible denominations
Using exclusive Call forwarding Service, user can transfer calls on his local number(s) (handheld or landline) to a number of his choice in the country of travel. This service provide major saving over other international roaming services plus one do not need worry about missing important calls
Global and Country specific SIM Cards allows mobile user to use it as a local postpaid connection to make local, national and international calls while travelling abroad. These SIM can be bought in India and even provide individual with dedicated own number of the country of travel. Call rate plan differs but in general provide substantial savings on the local and international calling.
Audio Conferencing help user talk with several people in real time. The service is available via both a regular telephone and a computer telephone. Along with audio interchange, audio conferencing also involves photo or video conferencing, using internet and personal computer. The latest version even allows users to work on the same document or other software application at the same time. Whatever is on a user's screen; will also show up on all the screens of other users in the conference. With the use of a digital whiteboard and a special pen, users can even draw pictures and diagrams for each other to demonstrate visual ideas.
Web based Dialer, mobile (client installed) and Broadband (adapter installed) Internet Telephony services like Skype are getting popular and widely available with significant increase in the peer to peer traffic. A number of Indian providers are already providing the variety of internet telephony services. The services are expected to become widely available post liberalization of VoIP regulations.
