[SatNews] TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) has broadened its voice, video, and data satellite solutions portfolio by offering a fixed-price Voice over IP (VoIP) solution to new and existing managed satellite services customers.

Organizations can control costs by implementing a TCS VoS (Voice-over-Satellite) package that allows unlimited calling to up to 40 countries for one low, flat monthly fee. This makes the solution ideally suited for addressing Continuity of Operations (COOP), first responder, and disaster recovery response requirements anywhere in the world. TCS VoS turnkey packages can be used in conjunction with TCS' current managed satellite communications services or as a free-standing solution for existing clients. TCS VoS supports individual users with a direct dial U.S. number per phone and can scale to include full hosted virtual office solutions for organizations reaching 10,000 users, across both satellite and terrestrial networks, as required. This solution complements TCS' ability to provide custom VoIP solutions to its existing client base by adding flat rate plans, hosted internet protocol private branch exchange (ipBX), and managed call center solutions, as well as session initiation protocol trunking for private VoIP networks.
