LUXEMBOURG, March 23, 2009 -- Skype today announced the beta version of
Skype For SIP for Business users. SIP, short for Session Initiation
Protocol, is an open standard and the leading voice over Internet
protocol used in businesses telephony networks at millions of locations
globally. According to IDC, 438,000 IP PBXes were shipped worldwide in
2008 (Source: IDC, Worldwide IP PBX and Desktop Hardware IP Phone Market
Forecast, 2008-2012: Using the PBX as the Foundation of Unified
Communications, Doc #210695, February 2008).
Skype For SIP allows SIP PBX owners to benefit from Skype's low cost
calls to fixed phones and mobiles around the world, and to receive calls
from Skype users directly into their PBX system.
Businesses can now be reached by the community of over 405 million Skype
registered users through click-to-call from their business Web sites. The
calls will be received through their existing office system at no cost to
the customer. At the same time, businesses can benefit from Skype's
low-cost global calling rates when placing calls to landlines and mobiles
worldwide from devices connected to their PBX systems. In addition, they
can choose to purchase online Skype numbers available in over 20
countries to receive calls from business contacts and customers who are
using traditional fixed lines or mobile phones.
