Sipwise and ALE Holding Combine International Unified Communications Projects in Africa and Worldwide

One year ago, the telecom group Alcatel Lucent Enterprise (ALE Holding) acquired a majority stake in the Austrian tech expert company Sipwise.

To reinforce their position in Africa, Sipwise offers custom-made solutions for the evolving connectivity.
