Taking the managed service platform into the future with Wanderweb Connect

Far South Networks adds next generation services to its world class product suite.


Cape Town, 04 Jul 2016

A leading designer and manufacturer of IP telephony platforms, Far South Networks has long been recognised as a local company that has successfully challenged the landscape dominated by the big, traditional, international brands.

As a leader in delivering next generation telephony solutions, Far South Networks has now added a new dimension to its offerings, with the Wanderweb Connect service.

"Far South Networks has a reputation for delivering products that integrate robust communications hardware with open standards based telephony software applications," says Grant Broomhall, the company MD.

"Now, thanks to Wanderweb Connect, we are able to deliver next generation services to go along with our world class products. Wanderweb Connect is a managed service platform for our PBX and Gateways that is delivered 'as a service'."

He explains that because it is provided as a service to the company's resellers, it means zero upfront costs, while enabling remote access to take place via any device, from any place and at any time. In other words, set-up, maintenance and remedial action to the company's products can be performed without the need for a technician to be despatched to the customer.

"Wanderweb Connect works with our existing products and enables our resellers to manage all their clients sites from anywhere in the world, freeing them from the need for a Network Operation Centre (NOC). In effect, when an end customer experiences a challenge, the system immediately alerts the reseller and enables them to connect to and manage any device behind the customer's firewall. In many cases they can resolve a problem before the customer is even aware of it."

This, he says, means they are able to offer better and quicker service, and delivery of far superior service level agreements.

"There are additional benefits too. This new service allows resellers to optimise their operations, by creating a service structure with client and device directories, as well as assigning and allocating staff according to regions. It also lowers operational overheads, as new implementations can be performed automatically, reducing the need for 'hi-tech' installation staff."

"Far South Networks has, since its inception, been focused on changing the communications landscape for good. With the release of the Wanderweb Connect service, we believe we are doing exactly that. And what is really good news for our resellers and end customers is that Wanderweb Connect is just the first of several new, game-changing solutions we will be launching in the next few weeks that will add even more value to their businesses, so watch this space," concludes Broomhall.
