Vodia is Microsoft Teams Certified, Podcast

Telecom Reseller / Technology Reseller News

Vodia Networks Inc. recently announced that the Vodia Networks Inc. PBX is now certified for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams provides enterprises and SMBs with an unrivaled set of features for communication and collaboration, making it an indispensable tool for increased productivity. In this podcast, Christian Stredicke walks us through the announcement. Teams is the dominant ecosystem. Vodia Networks Inc. can integrate and connect Teams to a wide range of functionality and experiences. Combined with the Vodia PBX, any organization can now use Microsoft Teams as an office phone system while benefiting from Vodia’s rich B2B communication feature set. The solution provides secure, integrated voice services to Teams collaboration environments. A Session Border Controller (SBC) is responsible for protecting and managing the flow of IP communication. Microsoft selects and certifies SBC vendors whose products support Direct Routing, and Vodia PBX has been certified with Microsoft Teams. Direct Routing allows companies using Teams calling to directly manage the interconnection to the service provider, so users can make and receive calls to/from the public telephone network and to/from the company IP-PBX within Teams. Vodia is now a member of the elite class of Microsoft Teams-certified devices that support Direct Routing. The certification expands the scope of applications for our solutions and enables our partners to bolster and enrich their unified communications and collaboration service offerings. Teams users can dial and receive calls to the Vodia PBX. When calling from Teams, the Vodia PBX will connect calls to SIP trunks or devices that are registered with the PBX. For example, this makes it possible to make public announcements from Teams or speak to a person on a door phone. In hospitality environments, it is now possible for front desk staff can call hotel rooms from a Teams extension. Vice versa, it is possible to call Teams users for example from hotel rooms. This opens up a large range of new opportunities to expand the usage of Teams in several industries.
