Tango Networks has announced Global Pass, a potentially game-changing enhancement of its Tango Extend mobile UCaaS solution.
The Tango Extend eSIM service currently allows any subscriber’s smartphone to seamlessly integrate with their company’s UC platform, facilitating smooth business communications for remote employees as well as frontline, deskless, and hybrid workers.
With the addition of Global Pass, Tango Extend subscribers benefit from a unified fixed-rate business mobile service across 14 Home countries, complemented by seamless roaming in an additional 25 Home Away countries spanning Europe and North America.
Lee Essex, Senior Vice President of Sales for Tango Networks, said:
Global Pass is a game-changer, enhancing the capabilities of Tango Extend to redefine how enterprises connect, communicate, and collaborate on a global basis. With Global Pass, we empower enterprises to break free from traditional connectivity and geography constraints, fostering a new era of productivity and collaboration for the extended workforce.”
A significant challenge facing fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions today is disconnecting when users roam between networks. While this might be no worse than roaming between networks on a mobile number, it still has an inevitably negative impact on the user experience.
Global Pass aims to revolutionise mobile communication by removing borders and allowing employees to stay connected while travelling or working internationally smoothly.
Initially launching in 14 countries during the first half of 2024, Global Pass subscribers based in the USA, UK, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, and Poland can freely reside or travel between these countries and roam into 25 more countries across Europe and North America without incurring additional roaming charges.
Later expansions planned for 2024 and 2025 will include countries across Asia, Australasia, North and South America.
Tango Extend’s Seamless Integration With Microsoft Teams Phone and Other UC Platforms
Integrating seamlessly with leading UC platforms like Microsoft’s Teams Phone, Tango Extend empowers workers to utilise their existing business numbers directly on their mobile phones, including Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) mobile phones. Tango Extend offers a business e-SIM for any multi-SIM personal mobile phone, with payment and control managed by the business. E-SIM effectively provides a business user with a Teams number.
This setup securely separates work and personal communications with dual personas, allowing business calls to be made using the phone’s native dialler rather than a mobile app.
Tango Networks is empowering service providers with Teams Mobile Phone while producing a slick deployment, making it effortless for service providers and businesses to introduce and leverage Tango Extend and Global Pass.
Tango Networks’ 2023
Last year, Tango Networks launched eSIMS for Teams Phone to empower frontline workers through Tango Extend.
Tango Extend seamlessly extends Teams-enabled fixed-line phone numbers from certified operators to mobile phones, leveraging Teams’ SIP Gateway technology. This empowers remote or on-the-go employees to make and receive Teams calls using the native dialer on their mobile devices.
Designed to bridge the communication gap for frontline and deskless workers in industries such as retail, manufacturing, delivery, transportation, and in-home services, Tango Extend provides access to corporate communications, facilitating more effective collaboration.
The Teams-integrated persona utilises the work-controlled SIM along with the worker’s Teams identity and phone number for work communications. This setup enables centralised capture and recording of work communications to adhere to records retention laws or for quality assurance purposes in customer support. Meanwhile, employees’ personal communications remain private and separate, using their personal identity and phone number.
“Today’s work-from-anywhere world demands simple and easy-to-operate communications to boost productivity,” said Andrew Bale, President of Tango Networks. “Tango Extend brings business communications to any worker in any location. With Tango Extend, business customers can get more from their investment in Teams.”
By adopting Tango Extend, Tango Networks highlights that companies are phasing out landline desk phones and reducing expenses associated with company-issued mobile phones, all while diminishing their carbon footprint and enhancing worker productivity.
