Interlink Global Corp opens first Latin American office in Venezuela

(Market News Publishing) - "In response to the rising current and expected future demand for IP telephony, Interlink Global Corp. has opened its first Latin American office in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and is doing business as Interlink Global/Metro Phone 1. The new Maracaibo office was created to serve growing regional markets.

Javier Parra, President of Interlink/Metro, Maracaibo, says that international markets in general and the Latin American market in particular -- are adopting IP telephony in a widespread fashion. The transition from traditional PBXs to IP-based PBXs will be very rapid in Latin America, as it has been in the U.S., according to Parra.

Although the IP market is growing especially quickly in the United States, Interlink selected Venezuela for its new office because it wanted to establish its presence in an important location within Latin America. 'We wanted to be well positioned over time to serve the countries of Latin America,' according to Oscar Ligardi, CTO.
