comMATCH and Vyyo Inc. have partnered to enable wireless service providers to complete with wire-line carriers in the IP telephony sector.

The telephony over fixed broadband wireless system is based on comMATCH's Duet VoIP gateway designed to interconnect the fixed broadband wireless IP access network to legacy Class 5 telephony switches. The Duet VoIP gateway enables the provisioning of various voice services, including three-way calling, call forward, call waiting and caller ID.

"By offering high-speed data and telephony services on the same platform, a service provider is able to increase his revenue potential as well as compete effectively with wire-line carriers," Vyyo director of marketing Sanjay Nagpal said in a statement.

Vyyo's systems are based on the IP used for data transport over wireless networks.
