Skype plans to offer customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland a co-branded version of VoSKY Technologies rackmount PBX-to-Skype gateway that VoIP News reported on earlier this week.


The VoSKY Exchange 9040 and 9140 products add four Skype lines to the office PBX without requiring changes to the existing PBX or desk phone infrastructure, making them very attract for small business looking to save money on toll charges without a complicated migration to traditional Voice over Internet Protocol solutions.

"This agreement is an important step in the expansion of our Skype for Business Portfolio," said Alberto Lorente, Skype's business development director for Europe.

"The ability to offer Skype trunking through the company PBX is critical for business use, and VoSKY Exchange offers an inexpensive plug-and-play solution that integrates seamlessly with the office phone system, allowing companies to make, receive and transfer Skype calls, while also making it easy for companies to deploy Skype to end users and track Skype-related spending."

The 9040 model offers trunk-side (FXO) connectivity to the PBX. The 9140 model connects on the extension-side (FXS) and adds the ability to transfer Skype calls between offices by extension without dialing the full office number.

"Skype's decision to co-brand our VoSKY Exchange product reflects the demand for Skype enablers in the business community," said Dean Chang, President and CEO of VoSKY Technologies. "Companies around the world have deployed our solution to take full advantage of Skype's offering, and we expect this agreement to accelerate market penetration in the UK both by adding the Skype brand and increasing our visibility in Skype's online business portal."

Skype VoSKY Exchange supports virtually all PBX systems out of the box and has no operating cost except for SkypeOut charges. It can be installed in as little as two hours, has received Skype certification, and has a low one-time cost that typically pays for itself within four months through Skype savings on long-distance and international phone calls.
