Australia-based telecoms services provider MNF Group has extended its footprint into Singapore, launching its communications platform as a service (CPaaS) offering via wholesale arm Symbio – an interconnected carrier providing wholesale IP network services to enable nationwide calling and number porting capabilities. ASX-listed MNF said the move forms the first phase of a wider expansion in the region as it looks to exploit opportunities in the unified communications technology segment. ‘Singapore is one of the most digitally competitive countries in the world but is severely lacking when it comes to advanced unified communications solutions,’ said MNF chief executive Rene Sugo, adding that his company hopes to unlock that potential and give its users ‘the freedom and flexibility to deliver next generation communications solutions without relying on incumbent telecommunications providers’.
