Goldfish launches the Babelfish, Ireland’s first web-phone, at the UPRISE Festival.
26th October, 2017, Dublin, Ireland: Irish telecoms firm, Goldfish, today released their new Babelfish phone at the UPRISE festival being held in the RDS. Named after the fish from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it allows calls to be made directly from within a web-browser. It is the first phone of its kind to be developed by an Irish company.
The Babelfish has been designed by Goldfish as an alternative to traditional softphones, in order to simplify how their customers, make and receive calls. Some of the larger companies they work with have requested a cloud-based phone that can be accessed by their staff from anywhere, without the need for a download and configuration. The result is the Babelfish, which can be accessed via a simple link, with all calls made and received encrypted within a web-browser.
Gordon O’Neil, CEO of Goldfish says: “We work with companies to develop our technology to fit their changing work practices. Many of our larger customers no longer use handsets and are moving towards being fully cloud-based. Others want to implement hot-desking, to streamline their working practices and save on office costs. The problem with traditional softphones is they make change difficult because they are desktop-based. Now, with the Babelfish, our customers can access their phones through a web-browser, so their staff can make calls within a few seconds. As with all bespoke technology that we develop, we will be making it available to all our customers.”
The Babelfish will also be fully incorporated into Quvu, Goldfish’s call centre management software.
