Cover Networks has chosen Taridium’s (News - Alert) comms Provider Platform, according to a Taridium announcement today. Cover cited the platform’s clean interfaces for administration, business and residential users as major reasons for the choice.

 

Cover had considered other solutions that either did not have a clean user interface or were too expensive.

 

“They were not appropriate for use in a provider space,” said network architect Josh Buehler. “In essence, we were looking at development kits that did not solve our situation. We simply could not afford getting into the market for $250,000 or more."

 

To be competitive, Cover decided to add VoIP phone service to its offerings. The goal was to find a cost-effective and feature-rich platform to actualize a quicker ROI.

 

The Taridium comms Provider Platform was chosen due to its ability to immediately generate revenue in the target market; its excellent support and direct access to developers in the company; its price-to-performance ratio; ongoing improvements by the open-source community; the five interfaces it boasts; as well as its integrated billing system and multi-tenant partitioning.
