NeoWave Signs MVNO Contract - Comms Dealer Announcement
NeoWave’s MD Justin Blaine today announced a significant new step in the expansion of NeoWave with the availability of a non competing MVNO offering to its resellers powered by aql.
Justin Blaine commented “The increasing need to be more efficient in the use of telecoms and the growing recognition by customers of a true FMC style service means a huge opportunity for the independent telecoms dealer, however not all MVNO offers are alike, and the technology available varies enormously.”
Firstly Neowave is taking a very different stance with its partner resellers, not only does NeoWave not compete with its channel customers but with its MVNO offering all resellers will always retain ownership of their customers. This non competing attitude will help create long term recurring revenues for our partners and net capital value within their businesses, Blaine also added, “This provides a unique double dose of Reseller protection, something that is totally unusual within our market place.”
Other significant features of the offering from NeoWave are FSA standard call recording ‘in the cloud’, and the ability to have multiple numbers on your mobile handset including geographic and non geographic numbers. The ranges of services available from NeoWave all come with market leading value including the new NeoWave unique ‘tracker’ pricing. This means there is no longer a vulnerability to fixed term pricing with a NeoWave supply contract, It is all part of the NeoWave partnership approach to its re-seller partners.
Paul Greaves Sales Director at aql said, “We are pleased to be working with NeoWave ‘the combination of our technology and their re-seller support means the best outcome for everyone.”
