Bharti Airtel has launched ‘Airtel Office Internet’ – a unified enterprise grade solution for the emerging digital connectivity needs of small businesses, SOHOs and early stage tech start-ups.
Terming it an ‘all-in-one enterprise grade solution,’ the telco said, “Airtel Office Internet will bring high-speed data connectivity, conferencing and business productivity tools as a unified solution with one plan and one bill.”
The offering includes FTTH broadband with symmetric speed of up to 1 Gbps along with unlimited local and STD calling. The connectivity comes with built-in enterprise grade security from Cisco and Kaspersky to block malicious and unwanted domains, viruses, crypto-lockers and attacks.
It would also feature complimentary Google Workspace licenses which allow businesses to use Gmail for all professional email communication along with an entire range of productivity and collaboration tools from Google.
With growing requirements for video conferencing, Airtel Office Internet also offers a free Airtel BlueJeans license for unlimited and secure conferencing with HD quality. The service also offers digital self-serve portal for businesses to manage all these services at one place. Plans start at Rs. 999 with a range of add-on services like Static IPs and parallel ringing.
According to Ajay Chitkara, Director & CEO, Airtel Business, “Emerging businesses are looking for trusted partners to help them in their journeys by eliminating the complexity of managing multiple relationships. Airtel Office Internet is yet another innovation from Airtel in this direction. It brings together Airtel’s network and world-class partner ecosystem to bring to market tailor made solutions for India’s unique needs.”
Bikram Singh Bedi, Managing Director, Google Cloud India said, “Telecommunications firms are increasingly differentiating by offering a wide range of tools that are helping Indian businesses accelerate their digital transformation with the cloud. The combination of Google Workspace’s collaboration and productivity tools combined with Airtel’s robust pan-India connectivity solutions will be a great growth enabler for small businesses in India.”
Daisy Chittilapilly, President, Cisco India & SAARC said, “As the threat landscape grows exponentially, cyber security becomes an urgent challenge for any business, regardless of size. This is particularly true for small businesses, given that they typically operate with limited resources and investments. Our partnership with Airtel is built on our joint vision of enabling enterprise-grade security for small businesses, grounded in AI and automation, so they can focus on areas that will have the biggest impact on their recovery and growth.”
