Art Smith, previously the CEO of ATSI Communications, is now the President. The company provides international communications services via its Digerati Networks and its licensed CLEC Telefamilia. We’re showcasing on this podcast, their new MexiConnect service and radio station emergency operation center solutions.

They are headquartered in the USA and have a minority interest in Mexico beginning in 2004 and have expanded to Middle East and Europe. Their MexiConnect services enable Mexican expats in the USA and abroad and also anyone in Mexico to have a local presence in the area where they want to start receiving calls from.

Some of the technologies that ATSI Communications employ are from NetSapiens and DIDX. They serve several Fortune 500 clients. One owns radio stations around the globe. ATSI serves this client with local access in each of a couple hundred cities to the local mayor, police chief and other community leaders for the local emergency operation centers. One call to one phone number will reach all the crucial persons who need to be informed regarding emergencies that affect the local area.

Increased travel, export, import, weather changes and catastrophes make such a service extremely important for fast transmission of information and collaboration.

Art mentions, “We are working through channel partners… and are looking for more partners to market these services in the USA and throughout the world.”

VoIP is dead? No way. It’s what you do with it. So many talk, talk, complain about no innovation, nothing new, but I hear about dozens of new and real practical applications such as ATSI’s MexiConnect and the Radio Station Local Emergency Operations Center projects every week from DIDX members.
