New Zealand's leading video conferencing player Asnet Technologies has announced that the company has acquired the assets and business of Christchurch-based IP Communications Limited trading as IP Communications, effective October 2009.

This acquisition reflects the importance Asnet Technologies places on being a major player in the South Island market for a wide range of audio and video conferencing technology products and services.

In making this announcement Chris Stewart GM-Director of Asnet Technologies commented, "This creates the combined advantage of enhancing support to Asnet's own South Island customer base, while support for customers previously serviced by the IP Communications team continues. The appointment of Richard Bishop as Regional Manager for asnet Technologies will see the effective and uninterrupted continuation of quality service delivery to his existing customers."

Richard Bishop added "There is a very natural fit between Asnet and IP Communications; a synergy in the philosophies of both companies is seen as a key advantage. Both businesses are about delivering excellence in products and services and we are very excited in joining the Asnet team."

IP Communications are active in the sales and service of the LifeSize range of high definition video conferencing products. This move means the company can now bring the complete Polycom product portfolio to their customers and channels alike.

"Our expertise in the video and audio conferencing industry will allow the new business of IP Communications to grow significantly in the South Island region." said Chris Stewart.
