Vodafone Business Services enters wireline space

Vodafone Business Services (VBS), the enterprise arm of Vodafone India, on Tuesday unveiled its strategy to drive growth through a strong foray in wireline services.

With the introduction of a suite of offerings for businesses in the wireline space, VBS is all set to move beyond mobility solutions. VBS is targeting approximately 20 per cent of its enterprise revenues coming from wireline services over the next five years.

 Vodafone has leveraged the latest developments in this domain to benchmark, develop and deploy state-of-the-art tools and technologies to manage the communication services for its enterprise customers.

Vodafone’s wireline service is backed by a robust network infrastructure, comprising 1,20,000 kms of fibre backbone, over 350 PoPs (points of presence) across 130 cities and a certified Network Operations Centre (NOC) for 24x7 performance management.

This robust network provides an enterprise with high-speed and secure links between its multiple offices spread across various locations (India and overseas), enabling it to respond rapidly to its customers in the fast evolving paradigm of digital communication.

 Vodafone Business Services Director Naveen Chopra said, “Having built a robust infrastructure over the last three years, we are now looking at wireline services as a key revenue driver for Vodafone Business Services.”

At present VBS contributes of 10 per cent of the parent company’s revenues and Chopra believes it would touch 15 per cent in the next couple of years.
