iWay becomes an independent telephony provider for fixed and mobile networks
Internet provider iWay is working on its own solutions for landline and mobile telephony. The company is currently building its own infrastructure for this purpose. The new products for landline telephony will be available from the beginning of 2025.
Similarly, iWay will also become an independent mobile communications provider. To this end, the company will operate as a full mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). iWay will use Swisscom's physical mobile network, but will set up its own hardware and software platform and operate largely independently. This means that iWay can develop and market its own tariff models and offers and differentiate itself even better from its market competitors as a mobile provider. The new mobile services will be available from mid-2025.
"We are building a new, more reliable and proprietary infrastructure. This will enable us to offer our partners and customers more attractive products and services in future," says Markus Vetterli, CEO of iWay. "As an independent telephony provider, we will be confronted with fewer dependencies in both the fixed and mobile network sectors, allowing us to react more flexibly to market changes and implement product developments more quickly." A smooth transition to the new infrastructure is a top priority for iWay.
Partners and customers will be informed about the next steps at an early stage. iWay partners will be able to order and manage the new products via the existing partner portal. Partners will also have the opportunity to purchase and market iWay's telephony products in a white label model with their own branding. End customers, in turn, will benefit from improved offers, as the new fixed and mobile telephony strategy will enable iWay to focus even more on its goal of being the best alternative to the major providers. As part of this new strategic direction, iWay will end its existing collaboration with Nexphone.
