(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
RDATE:18032008
This year's ISPA Awards proved to be one of enormous celebration for
leading voice and data services provider, Entanet, as it was crowned
for the superiority of its VoIP services in the Best Internet Telephony
category.
Short-listed for more awards than any of the other 34 nominees,
Entanet's VoIP portfolio was chosen as the winner ahead of the other
contenders on a number of criteria, including the variety and scope of
packages available; price and value for money; value added services;
and technical support.
The awards were given at a special Londonceremony on Friday 14th March,
following extensive technical testing of each entrant's service and a
review of service features and benefits by a panel of industry expert
judges.
Commenting on the accolade, Business Development Manager for Entanet's
voice portfolio, Elsa Chen, said: "To be crowned for best Internet
telephony is a major landmark for us. Based on our telecoms and data
experience we've worked extensively to develop a portfolio of VoIP
services that enable channel partners to meet the varying needs of
customers. This industry recognition will give them even more
confidence to sell our services to their customers, knowing that the
service has undergone technical testing by a third party."
A key element of the ISPA awards is detailed testing by Epitiro
Technologies of the technical aspects of entrants' products and
services. Within the Best Internet Telephony category, 33 criteria were
tested. Entanet's products stood out as the best performer among the
finalists, said an ISPA spokesperson: "The judges felt that Entanet's
portfolio of services and support for partners offered an exciting
proposition for resellers to supply VoIP.They were impressed with its
peering capabilities and the features of the VoIP Elite solution."
On the night, Entanet also picked up the award for Best Consumer Email
as well as being finalist for Best Business ISP, Best Consumer
Broadband and Best Dial-up. Entanet's service portfolio and experience
in providing broadband, bespoke connectivity and telecoms services
through the channel, puts its partners in a very strong position. It
enables them to address the specific needs of their customers with
business class products and to cherry pick' from a host of rate
adaptive and fixed rate broadband connectivity packages, combining them
with pre- and post-pay IP telephony products. The inclusion of
wholesale line rental and other traditional telecoms products also
means they are better able to protect their customer relationships.
Bespoke connectivity solutions such as leased lines, bonded xDSL and
colocation add further weight to the Entanet partner's armoury.
The ISPAs - the UK Internet industry awards - are unique as they are
awarded to people and organisations in the industry by their peers and
reflect the broad nature of the service provider sector. The Internet
Services Providers' Association (ISPA UK) has been organising the UK
Internet Industry Awards since 1999 to herald the best of the Internet
industry and to celebrate innovation and best practice. In 2002 the
awards were dubbed The ISPAs'.
The nominations come hot on the heels of Entanet winning the
prestigious title of Specialist Vendor of the Year, Products or
Services, in the 2007 CRN Channel Awards as a result of voting by
channel partners and customers in recognition of its commitment to
quality service delivery. It and its partners also enjoy a very high
profile on leading Internet industry user forums such as
thinkbroadband.com and dslzoneuk.net.
