These days, companies need to meet the high demands of their retail customers. Yahoo! is certainly no exception. It’s for this reason that the global Internet company has selected VSNL Singapore Pte Ltd., the international arm of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited, and its voice peering and termination services to exchange high quality VoIP traffic on a global basis and provide premium international retail call termination for Yahoo!’s (News - Alert) voice services.

Yahoo! is using the Teleglobe VoIPLink service, a fast, simple and cost effective way to bridge interoperability between VoIP networks, to terminate traffic anywhere in the world. Yahoo! is also using the Teleglobe VTS Service to ensure high quality, cost effective retail termination for users of Yahoo! Voice’s Phone Out (PC-to-Phone) service worldwide. VSNL International is among a suite of providers delivering high-quality termination calling services for Yahoo! globally.

“We are excited to be working with Yahoo! and supporting its Internet community with our innovative, high quality voice peering and termination services,” said Michel Guyot, president, Global Voice Services, VSNL International, in a press release. “Consumer VoIP providers, such as Yahoo!, as well as ISP/Broadband providers today are looking to engage an experienced global partner to leverage the advantages of voice peering. In response to overwhelming market demand, we are customizing our global voice and peering services offerings to meet the needs of these providers.”

Although Yahoo! is a significant customer, VSNL already lays claim to more than 415 combined direct and bilateral relationships with leading international voice telecommunications providers by providing a full suite of global voice and voice peering services. Consumer VoIP, broadband and ISP providers can access these voice peering capabilities and solutions, enabling true global reach and interoperability to support reliable, high-quality traffic exchange between multiple protocol networks.
