Whether at home or on the go, always keep your customers connected

AudioCodes’ Home&Go solution for Service Providers is bringing together the best of both worlds: feature-rich, converged Residential and Mobility services in a bundled offering.

The Residential Mobility Challenge

Residential and Mobile Service Providers are constantly being challenged by customers who are driven towards cost-effective offerings. These offerings enable them to be connected both inside and outside of the home by leveraging low-cost VoIP and Wi-Fi based services. These emerging alternatives are gaining more traction and increasing the Service Providers’ exposure to competition and higher churn rates.

At home, customers expect a variety of Data and Voice services and the convenience of moving around with their mobile devices to conduct voice calls at their preferred place. Outside of the home, customers expect to stay connected using their existing mobile devices, and while mobile cellular service can partially fill in for the mobility need, it also comes with several challenges: high roaming charges, indoor coverage issues, network overload, and lack of integration with residential services and devices.

The Home&Go Residential Mobility Solution

Home&Go bundles two main components: the new MediaPack 252 Multimedia Home Gateway, and the AudioCodes Voice Mobile Access Solution (VMAS). This innovative package allows Service Providers to leverage the fast growing use of Smartphones and the wide availability of Wi-Fi in residential and public environments to offer a comprehensive residential mobility solution.

Home&Go benefits different types of Service Providers and their residential and SOHO customers in the following ways:

• Innovative residential services & mobility for emerging Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs)
• Increased loyalty and ARPU with VoIP and Mobility for Fixed-Line Operators
• Cost-effective residential mobility & roaming for Mobile Operators
