VoIP service provider Vonage has named Brightpoint Activation Services, a unit of logistics and distribution firm Brightpoint, as a master agent for marketing and support of Vonage service plans, devices and new customer account activations.

Brightpoint also can employ its Accesspoint Dealer Network program, which serves more than 1800 dealers nationwide, to offer its current and future dealers the opportunity to become Vonage agents.

The agreement with Vonage comes just a few months after Brightpoint launched its Advanced Wireless Service division to reach out to the enterprise market and get the company into new markets such as wireless LAN and VoIP. Dave Brown, vice president of AWS at Brightpoint, said at that VoIP in particular offered Brightpoint a way to augment its business support distribution of traditional cellular devices.

In addition to the new deal with Vonage, Brightpoint also recent forged a similar agreement with Skype.
