Company Mission
Citel is The VoIP Migration Company™. We develop the world's most comprehensive portfolio of network-edge products enabling enterprises to realize the cost and productivity benefits of IP telephony, while leveraging existing telecom and datacom investments.
Deep Telecom History
Founded in 1995 in Nottingham, UK as a developer of computer telephony integration (CTI) applications, the company has grown over the last decade to become a global leader in the design and manufacture of IP telephony migration solutions.
Diverse Product Portfolio
Citel's core products, including the Portico™ TVA™ and EXTender™ product suite, address the obstacles within the $100 billion VoIP migration opportunity. By leveraging an enterprise's existing PBX, handset, and wiring infrastructure, while simultaneously distributing converged services and applications that increase productivity and reduce operational expenditure, Citel improves the business case for IP telephony migration. Growth in the VoIP market is being driven by end-users seeking to capture the feature and cost benefits of IP telephony; make the transition faster, more affordable, and easier with Citel's unique migration solutions.
