ISPhone is
planning to widen its focus beyond Voice over IP by building a converged Next
Generation Network offering a complete suite of Internet services,
virtual private networks and ADSL services for small to medium enterprises.
The company has just announced it has appointed James
Spenceley to the newly created position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and
charged him with the task of building the network.
Spenceley was the network architect and internetworking infrastructure
manager at COMindico, which was acquired by SOUL.
Spenceley will also be responsible for conducting training
and development sessions for all of ISPhone's technical employees and engineers
as well as provide ongoing skills support for all network staff.
With over a decade of experience in technical and network
architect positions, Spenceley has specialised in designing and implementing
large scale IP-backbone networks for a variety of companies. He regularly
consults to Australian ISPs regarding the design and deployment of both voice
and Internet networks.
He has also actively participated and spoken at regional
Internet conferences and events including ICANN, the Asia Pacific Network Group
(APNG) and APRICOT.
He designed, built and configured COMindico's IP network, one
of the largest in the country, Spenceley is well positioned to help ISPhone
expand its own network.
Earlier, Spenceley held a variety of network manager and
engineering roles at companies such as Dot Communications, MailTV and i-Net
Internet.
"In the last year, the number of ISPs and VoIP providers has
grown astronomically. My goal is to move ISPhone to the next level, to become
the leading NGN Business Telecommunications Provider," Spenceley said.
"SMEs have typically been the last segment of the market to
reap the benefits of new communications technologies, particularly VoIP. I have
spent many years developing and implementing new high-end applications and
technologies and believe that my experience will support SME's growing demand
for high quality business telecommunications services."
Gavin McDougal, Managing Director of ISPhone Australasia,
said that the company was delighted to add Spenceley to its rapidly growing
team.
"In the last year alone, we have experienced phenomenal
growth from SMEs looking to deploy VoIP. However, this is still a fairly
immature market. As we continue to grow, James's wealth of knowledge and
experience in the industry will be invaluable to our commitment to deliver
industry-leading innovations for our customers," he said.
