History

Products

NuWave provides a Unified Communications product, NuWave Connect,[8] using Microsoft Skype for Business as one of its UC platform.[9] The cloud-based communication product suite is marketed as a way to replace or reduce customers’ reliance of on-premise PBX hardware,[10] reducing equipment expenditures and speeding deployment.[11]

NuWave Connect is one of the 15 SIP-trunking services certified by Microsoft to provide TLS/SRTP encryption for Skype for Business.[12]

NuWave was selected by Microsoft for the deployment of the Microsoft Teams direct routing for Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) access. As a result of the Microsoft relationship NuWave launched NuTeams which is a fully unified approach to the Microsoft Teams solution with global coverage.

NuWave has commercialized an internal product used for more than four years for automated provisioning and analytical management called iPilot. The tool allows the provisioning of MS Teams in approximately 9 minutes. The platform is agnostic to the feature servers and is operation across Ribbons Communications platform, Broadsoft and MS Teams.
