Selcoms has become an authorised distributor of ShoreTel Inc, the world's fastest growing IP PBX company. The development is seen by ShoreTel as an important step in the company's strategy of consolidating its position as a key player in the IP telephony sector by joining with a range of selected partners across Europe to deliver a complete VoIP solution.

The partnership will provide Selcoms resellers with a complete range of products in the telecom and wireless market, allowing them to offer a comprehensive telecom solution. Rob Mortimer, sales and marketing director at Selcoms comments, "The addition of ShoreTel's IP PBX range to our wireless portfolio is a very significant step forward in our value-add distribution model, as it gives us the capability to deliver true voice and data mobility solutions to the market through our integration partners. The market clearly sees voice delivery over an IP infrastructure as an important element in the drive towards WiFi and WiMAX revenue streams, as well as cost reductions and a sustainable business case for operators."

Geoff Gudgion, ShoreTel's EMEA managing director, echoed Rob Mortimer's enthusiasm for the agreeement. "ShoreTel is constantly growing its channel, looking for opportunities in the right markets, and a specialist wireless integrator was the next logical step in the expansion chain, as demand for converged voice and data services over a wireless network grows. We are confident that this partnership with Selcoms will be highly beneficial to both companies as we work together in a growing and highly dynamic market."
