VoIP, Inc.’s VoiceOne(TM) exhibit, #304, will highlight several of the world-class services it provides to carriers and service providers, featuring the VoiceOne Network - the first, seamless nationwide IP network. VoiceOne services that will be featured at CompTel include:
VoiceOne Carrier Direct ™
VoiceOne’s Carrier Direct is a partner program for CLECs which IP-enables the CLEC’s TDM network to create a hybrid network providing SIP origination and termination, along with access to VoiceOne’s feature server to provide broadband voice services. This program provides CLECs with the expertise — and equipment — to make the move fast — with no capital expenditure or increased operational expenses. The equipment that we provide is free and includes softswitch technology, media gateway(s), an unmatched service creation environment, and a high-quality MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) network. In return, CLECs will receive revenue for terminating VoiceOne’s termination traffic on their network.
VoiceOne Local Origination(TM)
VoiceOne’s Origination service provides one of the largest selections of Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers available. Web-based administration and automated XML provisioning saves time when managing inventory, access, reservation and allocation. Additional VoiceOne services, such as v911, CNAM (full caller ID information), directory assistance listing, etc., can be added. VoiceOne Origination supports all protocols and connection types. These services are bundled with the termination product, and help supplement the carrier termination offering.
VoiceOne Enhanced 911(TM) Services
Named 2005 Product of the Year by Internet Telephony Magazine, VoiceOne’s v911 is a complete FCC-compliant solution for VoIP e911 calls. Our 911 services go beyond the requirements of the FCC’s order to help ensure reliability and quality of e911 calls. We utilize our private MPLS network along with our proprietary softswitch, selective routers, and media gateway controllers to provide the redundancy necessary for best quality of service for emergency calls over IP. Enhanced 911 provides for XML and web interfaces so that providers can update customer location information themselves or automatically. Customers’ emergency calls route to the correct Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) via selective routing. Enhanced 911 also provides the remedy for on-the-go, nomadic subscribers. When lines are classified as nomadic, calls are handled by a call center. The end user can create a custom email notification list that would notify individuals when the user called 911.
VoiceOne Virtual Service Provider(TM)
VoiceOne’s Virtual Service Provider (VSP) offering is a private-labeled VoIP solution that enables service providers to quickly deliver VoIP services to their retail subscribers and business customers without the cost of development or ownership. In addition, we offer “company branded” customer care services and hardware (CPE) product fulfillment to the VSP’s customer base.
VoiceOne Domestic Termination(TM)
U.S. termination takes place on the VoiceOne Network where we have facilities. Otherwise, we hand the traffic to one of our network partners with whom we have a contractual relationship and cost advantage. VoiceOne can accept traffic in either TDM or IP formats.
VoiceOne International Termination(TM)
VoiceOne’s International Termination product features direct routes and connections established to many international voice carriers worldwide, with competitive rates and plans to fit the needs of all customers. VoiceOne provides customers with top-value international termination, easy management, and accessibility to advanced services. VoiceOne can accept traffic in either TDM or IP formats.
VoiceOne 800 Origination(TM)
VoiceOne 800 Origination is a flexible solution with IP or TDM delivery. Our 800 Origination product provides nationwide toll-free numbers with full control over routing. Customers can easily re-route a number and can log into an easy-to-use, attractive web interface to manage their 800 numbers. VoiceOne 800 Origination supports geographic routing and vanity numbers. VoiceOne can accept traffic in either TDM or IP formats.
