ROCHESTER, NY July 27, 2007 — With the switch to the Enhanced Network, GLOBALINX, a 5LINX company, can offer its VoIP users a robust, scalable platform for both residential and commercial needs. The switch is the key to providing new features and functionality as well as unlimited worldwide calling at a very competitive cost. “We’ve morphed from being a reseller to building our own dynamic network, said Mike Machonkin, VP of Sales & Marketing for GLOBALINX. “Our platform will give our customers more control and more features as well as enables us to provide more behind-the-scenes service and support,” he said, “we now have complete control of our end-users’ experience.” Residential customers continue to receive all of their basic calling features such as caller ID, call waiting, and voicemail. With the new network, business and residential customers alike will get additional features such as out-of-service forwarding so no calls are missed, click-to-call from a web portal, and the ability to make calls directly from their address book via Outlook integration, plus many other features. — (more) — Page 2 of 2 Commercial customers can choose from a Hosted PBX (News - Alert), IP Centrex or SIP Trunking Solution deployed on a carrier class, fully redundant network.
