Why do I need fone@RNP
The main justification for educational and research institutions in Brazil to use fone@RNP has been the savings it generates in their telephone bills. By the way, savings which are quite significant given the high number of calls an institution needs to make both inside and outside its state.
However, financial savings are not the only motivation because adhering to this VoIP service (voice over IP) ends up promoting digitalization of the telephone infrastructure of the client institution; thus, opening the way for technological upgrade projects that inevitably lead to overcoming the limits of the analog system.
Benefits
Immediately after completing the adherence process, the institution starts saving from telephone calls that can be made to all education and research institutions in the country, which are part of the service collaborative network. Currently, this network has more than two hundred institutions in Brazil.
fone@RNP enables you to make calls at zero cost to education and research institutions in the country, which are already part of the service collaborative network, in addition to enabling:
• Zero cost calls to affiliated institutions abroad;
• Transparent call forwarding;
• Digitalization of the local telephone infrastructure;
• Democratization in access to the service;
• Transparent access with no need of user training.
How to take fone@RNP to my institution?
