Th Masters event came after their success of the Artois Championships which Max WiFi also porovided hosted VoIP for.

“This is our first year supplying The Quinn British Masters with VoIP and WiFi. We supplied 33 VoIP phones on the hosted VoIP network from Voicenet Solutions, to be used onsite by everyone including the scorers, the Championship offices, the police and the media centre.” Says Richard Hughes Technical Director, Max WiFi.

“We put together two separate networks on site, one for VoIP and one for Data/wireless, each network also had UPS backup to avoid any interruption to the network service”.

Max WiFi looked after everything from providing the phones, ordering lines and Internet connections to installing the network and providing technical support to end-users.

“The hosted VoIP offering from Voicenet Solutions fits in perfectly with the services we offer to event organisers what our clients are after. They offer a feature rich plug-in and go solution plus they give us a flexible contract which means that even short term events prove to be extremely cost effective.”

“On average we can provide 10 VOIP phones per PSTN/ADSL line where as if using standard phones this would mean 10 PSTN lines – therefore we could pass on a huge cost saving. Furthermore a future advantage is that you can take the VOIP phone anywhere in the world and keep the same telephone number.” Added Richard Hughes.

“The VOIP system from Voicenet Solutions is ideal because of its versatility and features, it’s easy to use, more cost effective to our clients and the best bit of all is that you don’t pay for calls to landlines in the UK”

David Crombie CEO of Voicenet Solutions commented “Max Wifi’s offering exemplifies the benefits of VoIP. The versatility, cost efficiencies and ease of implementation of VoIP can not be replicated for such a short term event by a conventional LAN network. We’re very proud of the technology we can offer our clients.”
