BandTel (News - Alert), which specializes in SIP
trunking solutions, recently won an
INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine 2006 Excellence Award. The company was recognized for its Virtual Central Office solution.
Virtual Central Office enables termination of toll-quality VoIP-to-PSTN
calls worldwide, with fail-safe architecture, high quality of service, and complete echo cancellation. The solution also includes dialing and calling plans for any network and any budget.
N-Plus, an architecture designed to solve throughput and redundancy problems on high-capacity, SIP-based networks, is an integral feature of BandTel’s Virtual Central Office. Associated calling services are designed for affordable, feature-rich VoIP
calling.
Virtual Central Office lets users leverage the cost savings and advanced features of next-generation, IP-based telephony while protecting existing investments in legacy PBX
infrastructure.
“Our engineering team has worked very hard to ensure we are providing best-of-breed solutions that are reliable, scalable and cost-effective,” Chris Dunk, BandTel’s CEO, said in a statement. “This honor validates their efforts and our dedication to producing the highest quality services available today.”
Greg Galitzine, editorial director of INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine, noted that Excellence Award winners represent leaders in the VoIP industry.
“Taking risks to advance VoIP technology and provide real solutions has earned BandTel recognition from the editors of
INTERNET TELEPHONY,” Galitzine said in a statement. “Virtual Central Office excelled in the VoIP/IP
Telephony industry, and most importantly, its customers are willing to offer their testaments of support.”
