Verizon has supercharged its VCE solution by delivering it over the company’s global Voice over IP (VoIP) service, and reinforced it with hosted or premise based SD-WAN connectivity. The solution is also now available across Asia, Europe and the U.S. By combining the solution with Verizon’s VoIP service, VCE customers will be able to obtain cost savings by sharing trunk capacity across all their sites. In addition users may make long distance calls to any Verizon Wireless device, or call other Verizon VoIP users via the Wireless Connected VoIP and VoIP IP Enterprise routing features, for no additional charge. Verizon’s SD-WAN also enables VCE customers to enhance user and customer performance; enabling greater diversity, resiliency and security with capacity prioritization.
