IPTrunking™

IPTrunking: Now You Can Make Your Move—And Do It On Your Own Schedule.

If you run a business, particularly a small or medium-sized business (SMB), you are probably weighing how you can economically and easily migrate to the benefi ts of a VoIP solution while not immediately abandoning the investment you have made in your existing PBX/Key system and handsets.

IPTrunking Basic from CommPartners Connect® is the solution that will allow you to make that move by giving you the ability to:

• purchase a limited number of lines to match your communications costs closely to your actual business needs
• consolidate your data and voice bills to lower expensive phone bills due to long distance calls and the taxes that go with them
• leverage your existing Internet connection for both data and voice while providing the ability to add enhanced calling features not already provided by the existing PBX or Key Set
• streamline your communications platform and enjoy immediate and significant economic advantages while smoothly transitioning to a hosted VoIP service
• provide new generation network to enhance your mobility via the CommPartners Connect network

How IPTrunking Smoothes The Transition.

Making your move to VoIP is not as challenging a proposition as you might think. Look at a typical “before” scenario. As depicted in first illustration below, voice and data reside on separate networks within the infrastructure, with separate cost centers and, usually, separate support staffs as well. However, with IPTrunking implemented at your PBX site, all of that changes by leveraging your data connection to simultaneously serve both your data and voice needs. As shown in second illustration below, a certified Integrated Access Device (IAD) which is simply installed at your premises, connects to our proprietary network via our IPDirect™ service or via a broadband connection.  This configuration provides access to DIDs nationwide—and can also lower your long distance bills and other related fees and taxes.

Business Continuity.

In an event In the event of a natural disaster or calamitous event, our Business Continuity solutions enables enterprises to automatically re-route calls to maintain telephone service to any location and any device, including landline phones, mobile devices and PC-based softphones. This disaster recovery solution includes simultaneous ringing and sequential ringing to multiple locations, support for telecommuting, and unified voice messaging and single mailbox across multiple technologies.

IPTrunking Basic and A la Carte Services.

IPTrunking Basic services can be ordered with powerful a la carte and Class 5 user feature overlays such as Call Forwarding, Simutaneous Ring, and Sequential Ring.  These advanced features can be used to supplement those features not already provided by an existing PBX or Key Set.
 

Essentially, Basic IP Trunks can be ordered (minimum of 4, initial order) and add just the number of a la carte features required by the customer.  The number of a la carte features that can be purchased is independent of the number of IPTrunks purchased.  There is no minimum number of a la carte features required.  A la carte features are priced separately from the IPTrunking Basic services. 

The a la carte services* that can be added are: Auto Attendant (1 DID included), Class 5 Feature Package, Conference Bridge, Instant Group (DIDs required), Hunt Group (DIDs required), IPCallRecord (DIDs required), Voice Mail (DIDs required), and IPFAXSolution (1 DID included).

*No a la carte services are included or required.  A la carte services are priced seperately.
