Voice Carrier Acquires PBillX

Hosted VoIP business communication systems provider Voice Carrier has acquired PBillX , a provider of PX Asterisk-based VoIP PBX systems for the hospitality industry. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Voice Carrier has integrated its P$X software with its VoIP PBX systems and service for use in the hospitality industry's telephony infrastructure. PBillX is the inventor and developer of the P$X software, a solution to provide a certified property management system (PMS) interface to Asterisk VoIP solutions.

"PBillX established itself as an innovator in bringing state-of-the-art VoIP capabilities to the hospitality industry, where many properties are still using outdated, expensive, and difficult-to-maintain legacy PBXes," said Gary Johnson, president and CEO of Voice Carrier, in a statement. "Now with P$X software in our hospitality portfolio, we can deliver a hybrid, cloud-based, on-premises PBX with a seamless integration to the hotel's existing PMS. This, coupled with our uniquely priced VoIP service plans, allows Voice Carrier to provide hotels with unprecedented cost and operational savings over conventional PBXes. The bigger the hotel, the bigger the savings."

The P$X software is certified to provide an interface with the hospitality industry's most popular PMS systems, including Micros Fidelio, Opera and Suit8, Protel, Amadeus Hospitality, Brilliant, Newhotel and Silverbyte/Optima. The new Voice Carrier hospitality solution product line allows hotels to continue to use the current in-room analog phones and phone system infrastructure while providing new functionality, significant reduction in monthly phone bills, and the potential to increase occupancy and nightly revenues by marketing unlimited local and long distance calling to the hotel's clientele, according to the company.
