A next-generation communication software and services company based in Montreal, Dialexia develops and markets IP telephony software and applications, and provides IP-based telephony solutions using for enterprises, service providers and resellers.
A year ago, Mohri told me that his company solves customers’ pains in most areas that IP communications technology can, providing low prices, high administration and usage flexibility, elaborated services, easy installation and deployment.
“We make our products affordable so that even the smallest start-ups are able to switch to VoIP and get into the market,” he said.
Next month, Dialexia will showcase its solutions in booth 433 at the
Internet Telephony Conference & Expo, to be held Sept. 16 to 18 in Los Angeles – and it sounds like the company has expanded its product line.
I recently put some questions about Dialexia’s solutions to Mohri and the company’s chief executive officer, Ahmed Aina.
They say that ITEXPO attendees can expect to find low-cost, easy-to-use applications such as Dial-Office, a SIP-based IP-PBX (

Our entire exchange follows. Check it out.
