Sentech’s voice offering plans taking shape
Dingane Daka, Sentech’s Multi-media Services Manager, told MyADSL that Sentech will compete with the current voice providers by using their IP Network to bring competitively priced voice products to consumers.
While Sentech is not directly licensed to carry voice, they are using their VANS license for this purpose. They are further using their multimedia license to terminate the voice traffic to the end users.
Sentech has recently been awarded a hundred thousand non-geographical numbers in the 087 range, similar to the current cellular numbers.
Daka pointed out that Sentech will compete in both the fixed and mobile voice environments, but that Sentech will most likely be seen more in the mobile sphere due to cost.
Daka is confident that they will launch their first voice offerings in the second quarter of this year, and said that users can look forward to fair prices and quality offerings from Sentech.
