Voxbone, a provider of local telephone numbers and VoIP transport, has announced the opening of its new Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore. The company also announced the appointment of Lee Tian Yew as vice president for Asia Pacific to direct its sales, business development and operations in the region.

Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, Voxbone said it had also received licences to operate in both Japan and Hong Kong. Voxbone now operates in 44 countries and 5,000 cities globally.

“We are bullish about the explosive growth in new applications due to the pervasiveness of broadband and the increase in access speeds, particularly in APAC countries,” said Rodrigue Ullens, CEO and co-founder of Voxbone.

“We selected Singapore as our regional base for expansion in APAC because the country is one of the major telecommunications hub in the region. Likewise, Singapore’s regulatory structure is R&D-friendly and the government places strong emphasis on new technology, as evident in nationwide initiatives such as municipal outdoor broadband access, full number portability and NGN networks, to name a few,” he added.

Voxbone services, which include DID (direct inward dialling) and toll-free numbers are deployed by mobile operators, PSTN carriers, VoIP providers, call centre operators and NGN service providers worldwide. Voxbone is a recognised member of the International Telecommunication Union and part of the study group that is responsible for numbering standardisation around the world.
