VoX Communications has provided customer access devices and Wi-Fi IP phones to FEMA to aid in the relief efforts in storm-torn New Orleans and related areas. The Wi-Fi phones are using wireless networks that were unaffected by the recent storms. VoX was able to deploy Wi-Fi phones that would work effectively anywhere that still had Internet access. This equipment was delivered immediately following the storm and most of it has already been deployed.
IP phones work anywhere and do not suffer the damage that traditional telephony systems do when disasters like this one hit. The technology that was deployed was able to survive an entire data center loss or even that of an entire city--as in this case.
Based in Celebration, FL., VoX Communications is a subsidiary of eLEC Communications Corp. VoX offers wholesale broadband voice, origination and termination services for cable, wireless and wireline operators--and enhanced VoIP telephone service to the small business and residential marketplace.
