One Horizon Group Secures License in Ghana Bringing the Benefits of Optimized VoIP to 18 Million Mobile Data Subscribers

LIMERICK, IRELAND — (Marketwired) — 02/13/17 — (NASDAQ: OHGI), a leading optimized mobile VoIP software provider for telecommunications operators, today announced the launch of its optimized VoIP technology in Ghana, West Africa through a commercial software agreement with the licensed carrier Ltd. (–AccessPLUS–).

Through this strategic launch, all of Ghana–s smartphone users can now make high-quality Internet phone calls for less than the cost of a local call when using 2G and 3G cellular data networks. One Horizon–s voice-delivery optimization allows carriers– call-delivery costs to be reduced by a factor of 10 by using the Internet. The carrier can now offer low cost calls while still making a profit. A win-win for carriers and for Ghana–s smartphone users.

Brian Collins, CEO of One Horizon Group, stated, “We are delighted to be able to expand our presence to another country in Africa and to license our technology to a carrier seeking to make an impact for positive social change. We believe our proven VoIP technology is the only one in the world that is retro-compatible with 2G and 3G networks, thus, we are being noticed by carriers throughout the world. Our sales pipeline continues to expand, especially in territories where over 6 billion people still do not have access to 4G. We fully expect to continue signing license deals of this nature throughout 2017 as awareness of our patented mobile VoIP solution grows.”

Ghana–s telecommunications regulator reported that for December 2015 the number of mobile data subscribers rose from about 17.73 million to 18.03 million, a mobile Internet access rate of 65.74% of the country–s population. The main catalysts for the rise in the number of people with access to mobile phones and internet usage has been attributed to the recent push for telecommunication companies expanding their network coverage, the availability of cheap smartphones from China and the robust legal regime.1
