VoIP services enabler Vistula Communications announced on Tuesday that it was tapped by Argentinean ISP ITC to distribute Vistula's V-Cube VoIP platform in the Latin American country. This would be the second V-Cube to be installed and launched in Argentina by Vistula Communications (News - Alert) Services.

V-Cube will be used as the central system to deliver a set of hosted VoIP telephony products to business enterprise customers in Argentina. The new, five year contract also calls for Vistula to integrate its Web-based portal set with ITC's existing client and operational systems. This will facilitate client sign-up and allow those clients to control of their telephony environment.

The system was already officially launched and has been offered to customers since July 1st. ITC will initially market Vistula's IP-PBX to its existing broadband clients, and Vistula's call shop system to certain cyber cafes it currently services. Both of these products are based on the V-Cube platform.

“This is a very exciting business development for us,” said ITC’s COO Marcelo Moreno in a statement. “We will offer an innovative and competitive VoIP telephony service in Argentina. We anticipate significant demand from our existing clients and we believe that the V-Cube platform will attract new customers to ITC's existing products and services. The V-Cube platform allows us to bring world-class VoIP products to our clients, all in a time frame very difficult to match by the competition. This has allowed us to be one of the first ISPs to bring VoIP telephony to the Argentinean market.”

Vistula made news earlier this month when it announced that its technology was behind Telstra Europe's newly launched IP-PBX service. Telstra Europe deployed Vistula's V-Cube for its launch across the UK.

Telstra’s new service offers three pay-as-you-go service packages for standard, enhanced and premium users, plus an operator console for multi-line call supervision. Other features include Web-based voicemail, abbreviated dialing, conferencing, a softphone and roaming. With V-Cube, users and administrators will be able to manage their service profiles and to provide performance statistics and billing info through a Web-based portal. The service will also provide users with geographic and non-geographic numbers.
