Norwood is reducing corporate roaming charges by more than 70% and can deliver potential savings to companies amounting to millions of dollars per annum, based on their roaming usage. To date, these users have collectively utilised 2 million seconds of airtime on the CORONA platform.
How CORONA Works
Norwood’s patent-pending cloud services platform, CORONA, automatically leverages the international public switch telephone network ( PSTN ), short-haul VoIP networks and other voice bearers to optimise employee call routing, improving call quality and reliability, while lowering corporate calling expenses.
CORONA addresses a “two-sided” market by linking low-cost regional landline telephony network service providers to nearby corporate roaming travellers who need access to low-cost, high-quality telephony services. By monitoring the location of employees’ roaming smartphones, and by managing a number of scalable service agreements with regional network service providers, CORONA seamlessly connects its end-users to nearby telephony resources – using the same protocol that the international cellular telephony networks use for roaming between their networks – to drive down roaming call costs and improve contactability.
