ng-voice. A story of VoIP specialists, open-source pioneers, innovation and operational excellence.
ng-voice was founded in 2011 by a small team of leading open-source, VoIP pioneers and passionate coders to develop innovative software solutions for fixed and mobile network operators, containerized from scratch. ng-voice’s founder and CTO, Carsten Bock, is one of the VoIP industry veterans. He believed in VoLTE becoming the new mobile voice standard when it was still a niche technology.
Since then, the telecom business has completely changed. Driven by exploding data usage and emerging technologies, the demand for flexible software-based network infrastructure has increased. In 2019, David Bachmann, a former Associate Partner at McKinsey, joined ng-voice both as CEO and shareholder to drive ng-voice’s commercialization and growth strategy, and long-term investors came on board. To increase supplier diversification and foster innovation in the European 4G/5G ecosystem, ng-voice also founded EANGTI, the European Association of Next Generation Telecommunications Innovators.
ng-voice has focused on turning our IMS core into the most cloud-native IMS solution in the market, being fully containerized and deployed with Kubernetes. We have also developed and launched several 100% cloud-native virtual network functions in addition to the IMS core, such as our application servers and ePDG. Basit is leading ng-voice’s cloud-native transformation, delivering a very unique value proposition for our solutions, with the smallest container sizes, a high level of automation, and efficient use of resources.
In addition, ng-voice has invested in new technologies, cutting-edge companies and partnerships, and has recruited an A-team of experts coming from the most relevant telecom players and also from the research field, such as Johanna, that joined the company bringing her experience in 5G Core research.
ng-voice is committed to the quality of its products and services, heavily investing in testing so that our solutions are also the most reliable. Vividha joined ng-voice in 2020 and was responsible for setting up and lead our team of test engineers, automating our testing processes.
Our solution is very flexible and fits the needs of MNOs, MVNOs, and enterprises of any size. To guarantee complete satisfaction with our solution, it is important to have a delivery team that understands our products as well as our different customer’s needs. Stefan joined ng-voice in 2017, has been responsible for marketing and product development, and now uses his extensive experience to lead our deployment team.
