Netgear has announced it will extend its penetration into the emerging SMB and retail VoIP market with new partners Ace Communications, Broadband Phone and MyNetFone.

The three local service providers will deliver ready-to-use VoIP product from Netgear including the wired two-port telephone router. The TA612V Broadband Voice Adapter with Router and 2 Phone Ports (RRP $179) will be offered as a bundled solution from the service providers.

The move marks the beginning of what will no doubt become a race between Linksys and Netgear to sign as many providers as possible.

“We have chosen to partner with three different providers as they each deliver a unique VoIP service to the market, ensuring that our customers are able to select the best service to suit their individual requirements,” said Ryan Parker, NETGEAR’s Director of Partnerships and Services.

“By providing customers with a superior VoIP product that can be configured in line with their existing network, we are making it possible for people with very little understanding of this technology to deploy and benefit from a converged voice and data solution,” he said.

Customers that purchase the bundled NETGEAR product from Broadband Phone will receive 500 minutes of PSTN calls. Ace Communications customers will be able to get their VoIP service free of charge for one month and MyNetFone is offering customers $10 worth of free phone calls on a $0 per month plan.
