peoplefone SIP-TRUNK certified for Rainbow by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise

Paris, 25. August 2021

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, networking and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries, and pan European Voice over IP provider peoplefone are intensifying their collaboration and have now certified peoplefone's SIP-TRUNK for Rainbow.

The cooperation offers partners and customers of both companies an efficient extension of the already well-known UCaas/CPaas platform Rainbow with SIP-based cloud communication functions. The combination of both technologies offers companies a future-proof communication platform that can be easily integrated into the existing communication infrastructure.

The cloud-based technology delivers the possibility of integrating real-time communication through various means (business applications, processes...). This facilitates communication, and makes digital interaction faster, simpler and more secure. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise offers industry-specific solutions within the framework of numerous technology partnerships, including for the public sector, healthcare, education and the hospitality industry.

The certification took place in May 2021 for Switzerland, as well as for Germany, Austria and France, where the same SIP-TRUNK technology from peoplefone is used. The "peoplefone SIP-TRUNK Option" is now immediately visible in Rainbow for activation by peoplefone partners.

We are very pleased with this intensification of our previous cooperation as it gives us access to a large number of new distribution partners who are already working with peoplefone.

Laurent Paterac, country manager Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Switzerland

peoplefone is particularly well-known in the business customer sector, maintains close partnerships with over 1,000 installation partners in Switzerland alone and has been certified for both the OXO Connect platform and the OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. peoplefone distributes Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products exclusively in cooperation with its partners. Both peoplefone and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise already work in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, France and other markets with numerous joint partners that distribute Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products and can now propose an even broader portfolio of unified communications solutions to their customers.

The partnership is of great strategic importance to Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. "We are very pleased with this intensification of our previous cooperation as it gives us access to a large number of new distribution partners who are already working with peoplefone," said Laurent Paterac, country manager Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise in Switzerland. "The certification also enables us to offer voice capabilities with cloud PBX to both our existing SME customer base and our Rainbow UCaaS customers."
