Vodafone expects wireline to drive growth

Vodafone Business Services (VBS), the enterprise arm of Vodafone India, is hopes to generate about 20 per cent of its enterprise revenues from wireline services over the next five years.

This follows the company's launch of a suite of offerings for businesses in the wireline telecom segment, the company said in a statement.

''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. With our suite of offerings in this space, we are now a total communication services provider in the true sense. This is going to be one of our strategic priorities at VBS and we are expecting that it will contribute over 20 per cent towards our enterprise revenues over the next five years,'' said Naveen Chopra, director, VBS.

The wireline services suite is a part of the total communication solutions, over and above the mobility and mobile-to-mobile services.

Some of the key offerings by VBS are private leased circuits (national and international), multi-protocol label switching- (MPLS), based virtual private network (VPN), Internet leased lines, office wireline voice, toll free services, audio and video conferencing services among others.
