Pac-West Telecomm Introduces New Voice Termination OfferingsBy Alice Straight, TMCnet Web Editor Pac-West (News - Alert) Telecomm, Inc has released a new family of domestic voice termination service offerings for carriers and service providers. 'More and more, telecom businesses are working to optimize the value they deliver to their customers,' said Robert H. (Hal) Turner, chief executive of Pac-West Telecomm (News - Alert). 'A one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work - traffic patterns, billing requirements, quality guarantees, and payment terms are all components that need to be matched to the business.' Among the offerings Pac-West has included: Local Plus (formerly PSTN On-Ramp): This service is targeted at retail carriers and VoIP service providers that are serving residences and businesses directly, and require competitively-priced premium Tier-1 termination to interstate, intrastate, and local rate centers, including E911 capability. LD Standard: This service is targeted at carriers and service providers that manage their termination directly using least-cost routing capabilities, and offers high-quality, low-cost termination pricing for interstate and intrastate calls. LD Value: This service is targeted at carriers and service providers that have least-cost routing capabilities and can support 7-day payment and rate change terms, looking for the most aggressive termination pricing for interstate and intrastate calls. Short Duration: This service is specifically designed to meet the needs of service providers such as outbound call centers that have a high proportion of calls with sub-minute call duration. Flat-Rate: Termination provides simple, affordable coverage of domestic rate centers at a single per-minute rate. Alice Straight is a TMCnet editor.
