Huawei and Tropo Partner to Deploy Tropo API with China Telecom
Menlo Park, CA and Shenzhen, China (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications solutions provider and Tropo, the leader in real-time telco APIs, today announced a partnership that will see China Telecom Fujian offer a range of Communications as a Service (CaaS) applications to small and medium enterprises in China for the first time. China Telecom Fujian is the first telecommunications company to offer the Tropo API in China.
The new partnership allows enterprises in China to leverage China Telecom’s IMS network, and enables SMEs to have direct access to cloud-based communications services and enjoy the economies of scale afforded by the China Telecom Fujian network. It also extends telco-grade communication capabilities to the large base of SMEs in China, accelerating innovation while significantly reducing the cost of service and dramatically enhancing flexibility and user experience.
Tong Guofan, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei IMS said, "Communications as a Service (CaaS) will change the business model of the telecommunications industry and bring significant benefits for carriers and their customers. Tropo is the most competitive telco API provider. The cooperation between Huawei and Tropo is a win-win partnership."
As a part of Communications as a Service (CaaS) platform, Tropo allows developers and businesses to quickly develop and deploy real-time voice, text and video applications using a simple API. China Telecom enterprise customers using the CaaS platform will, for the first time, have access to a robust suite of communications services, including automated inbound and outbound telephone calls, speech recognition and text-to-speech in multiple languages, multi-party conference calls, text messaging and more.
“I am very excited to have Tropo collaborating with industry leaders like Huawei and China Telecom, helping enterprises to benefit from the next generation of voice and SMS applications to the market in China,” said Tropo CEO and President, Jason Goecke.
