XO Communications Brings Industry-Leading Voice over IP Services
Bundle to Businesses in Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro Area
Offers Unlimited Local and Long Distance Calling with Dynamic Bandwidth
Allocation for One Flat Monthly Rate
MINNEAPOLIS, July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XO Communications, Inc.
(OTC:XOCM) (BULLETIN BOARD: XOCM) today announced the launch of its
industry-leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services bundle,
XOptions(R) Flex, in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
XOptions Flex is an integrated VoIP services solution that gives business
customers enhanced features, functionality and value for their voice and
Internet services, all in one simple package. It is the industry's first VoIP
services bundle for businesses that combines unlimited local and long distance
calling, dedicated Internet access and web hosting services for a flat monthly
price.
"XOptions Flex offers businesses in the Twin Cities the most comprehensive and
flexible VoIP services bundle," said John Unger, vice president and general
manager of XO Communications' Minneapolis sales office. "VoIP is truly
revolutionizing the telecommunications industry, and XOptions Flex leverages
the power of the Internet to provide a high quality and reliable communications
solution that integrates voice and data over a single broadband connection with
more valuable features for small and medium-sized businesses that save them
time and money."
The service leverages the latest in VoIP technology to provide customers with
next generation communications capabilities, such as unlimited voice calling,
dynamic bandwidth allocation, voice virtual private networking (VPN), and a
simple Administrative Web Portal. With a broadband connection on the XO IP
network, XOptions Flex utilizes XO's award-winning national IP network and
softswitch technology to carry customers' voice calls more efficiently and
cost-effectively than traditional services that rely on the public switched
telephone network. In addition, businesses can take full advantage of all of
these IP-enabled capabilities and features without having to replace their
existing analog phone systems.
"Businesses are ready to adopt VoIP and take advantage of its ability to more
cost-effectively improve communications with customers and among employees,"
said William Stofega, Research Manager with IDC's Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) Services Program. "The providers that will differentiate themselves are
those that offer more features with the flexibility to deliver true business
benefits. XOptions Flex provides that flexibility with a simple, integrated
VoIP solution that can expand as businesses' voice and data needs grow."
Features
XOptions Flex includes more than twenty standard voice features for each phone
line including call forward, three-way calling, and voice mail. Key features
of the service include:
* Dedicated Internet Access up to 3 Mbps
* Dynamic bandwidth allocation
* Unlimited local calling
* Unlimited inbound and outbound domestic long distance calling
* An easy-to-use Administrative Web Portal for making real-time changes to
services
* Web Basic Hosting Package
* Additional voice lines, hosting and other applications can also be added
on an a la carte basis.
"XOptions Flex enables businesses to get a better return on their
telecommunications budget. In contrast to traditional offerings that waste
voice lines when they are idle, XOptions Flex can maximize the speed of data by
making use of capacity dedicated to unused voice lines. When there are calls,
voice traffic will always have priority. In this way, businesses get maximum
utilization and value from their integrated access circuit while ensuring the
highest quality of service for voice calls," added Unger.
