SkyNetGlobal has joined with VoIP provider Engin to offer broadband telephony to W Home users.
SkyNetGlobal is hoping the inclusion of a cheap telephony alternative will help drive adoption rates for the W Home services in equipped apartment blocks. The partnership follows a successful five-building trial in Sydney in which W Home subscribers used the company’s ATA, “Voice Box”.

W Home will be telling its customers that the plan will include local calls priced at $0.10 cents (un-timed), national calls are fixed at $0.05 cents per minute and international calls to 36 countries are priced at $0.04 per minute or less.

SkyNetGlobal will receive a commission on all calls originating from its W Home apartments.

“Our customers were pleased with the features, the price and the high-quality connections,” says Jonathan Soon, CEO of SkyNetGlobal. “But the real clincher for many people is that they no longer have to pay fixed line monthly rental charges because this service does not require a rented phone line – just a broadband connection.”

W Home is a smart home system that requires no capital investment from the owner or developer as all capital investment is borne by W Home. The offering includes wireless communications, broadband internet, home networking, IP Phone, home security and automation.

Long-term service revenues amortise the company’s original investment.

W Home services around 40 high rise apartment buildings in Sydney and Melbourne and has business interests in Singapore, the United Kingdom and exports to other countries including Russia.
