Operational experience
NFON constantly adapts to B2B
demands and combines with innovative
solution approaches.
One platform handles everything from five
seat customers to large multinational
enterprise installations.
Build from scratch with horizontal
scalability in mind.
NFON works in almost any network
environment. The NFON architecture
solves customer network challenges with
centralized solutions.
No end user device configuration
necessary. Equally important for small
customers without internal IT as for big
projects in which our Auto-Provisioning
provides huge cost savings.
Seven year operational experience with all
aspects of cloud telephony including
network challenges, scalability, redundancy
and demanding customer scenarios.
9. German Data Privacy laws and regulations among the toughest and most restrictive
in the world.
There is no absolute security in public telephony (e.g. Chancellor Merkel)
NFON focus on
Customer data separation
Encrypted data transfer wherever possible
Operational security
NFON stores no critical data. Compared to other cloud services NFON only
processes volatile data.
The only information stored is information all carriers store for ages esp.:
Call-Metadata
Voicemails (such as for mobile-phone since decades)
