Ribbon Communications Inc. , a provider in secure and intelligent cloud communications, announced that NuWave Communications, Inc., a provider of Unified Communications (UC), Hosted PBX, SIP Trunking, and wholesale and retail telephony solutions, is utilising Ribbon’s Microsoft Teams-certified Session Border Controller (SBC) to support its new Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams service for enterprise customers.

“Organisations want to take full advantage of Microsoft’s Modern Workplace, including its voice capabilities, while outsourcing telephony provision and management,” said Mark Bunnell, COO, NuWave.

“With Ribbon’s scalable SBCs we can now give our customers a practically frictionless, cost-effective solution to move their subscribers to Microsoft Teams and include voice via Direct Routing for Teams. NuWave’s NuTeams solution offers calling plan options at more aggressive price points than are currently available in the market and prevents service interruptions by offering post pay options instead of prepay communications credits. This is a tremendous step forward in UC adoption.”
