One year ago, the telecom group Alcatel Lucent Enterprise (ALE Holding) acquired a majority stake in the Austrian tech expert company Sipwise. Since then, the two tech companies have been working together to implement innovative Unified Communications projects in Africa and worldwide – including but not limited to the Cloud Edition phones based on the Sipwise CPBX. To reinforce their position in Africa, Sipwise offers custom-made solutions for the evolving connectivity.
08th November 2019, Brunn am Gebirge/Kornwestheim – Through the takeover by ALE Holding, Sipwise has a strong partner and can act with increased flexibility. In recent years, Sipwise has strengthened its leading position in the fixed-line telephony sector. The telephony solutions from Sipwise, which are in ever-increasing demand, help Telcos, Internet and city network operators as well as MNOs and MVNOs to offer competitive telephony products. Through ALE Holding presence, Sipwise is able to further international projects. ALE Holding also relies on the extensive expertise of the Austrian company: In the cloud and VoIP telephony sector, Sipwise is setting new standards based on hardware and software. In 2018 Sipwise entered the African market with their solutions. By offering an attractive array of products in the field of Unified Communications, connectivity, voice and communication solutions, Sipwise is supporting the well-established service providers in South Africa.
Strong partnership for international projects
Together, Sipwise and ALE Holding have created increased cooperation, to supply the telephony market with innovative solutions for the Africa market and worldwide.
Daniel Tiefnig, CEO of Sipwise stated: “With ALE Holding as our partner, we can realize innovative projects. In the future, we will cooperate even more closely with Alcatel Lucent Enterprises. This will enable us to maintain our dynamism, develop further solutions and at the same time having the stability provided by the ALE Holding”. Through this synergy, the companies support each other with new impulses. The tech corporations take this pool of ideas as an incentive and work on numerous concepts. One of the outputs of this cooperation is the “Cloud Edition Telephony” which enhances the Unified Communications portfolio in Africa – and worldwide.
