Allstream Introduces New Service that will Dramatically Lower Telecom Costs for Canadian businesses
(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) "SIP Gateway" brings IP-based voice benefits to more businesses
Stock Symbol: MBT
TORONTO, March 19, 2014 /CNW/ - Allstream today announced the continued
evolution of its leading SIP portfolio with the introduction of its new
"SIP Gateway" service. SIP Gateway will help Canadian businesses save
as much as 40 per cent compared to traditional voice services.
Allstream delivers its SIP Gateway service using its cloud-based IP
voice environment.
"Allstream is the only national competitor to Bell and TELUS for
business customers and this service is yet another way we are making it
easier for more Canadian businesses to lower their overall telecom
spend and improve productivity," said Allstream President Michael
Strople.
SIP Gateway offers the features and functionality of a Primary Rate
Interface (PRI) for significantly less cost by providing an IP-based
alternative. Previously, Canadian businesses with non-IP Private
Branch Exchange (PBX) systems were prevented from achieving the savings
of a PRI without updating their PBX. Allstream's SIP Gateway allows
Canadian businesses to take advantage of the benefits of IP telephony
services without the cost and complexity of having to upgrade their non
IP-based PBX systems.
Allstream launched its SIP Gateway service in February in some regions
and Canadian businesses have already taken advantage of the savings
that will be available nationwide as of today. Canadian businesses
looking to see how they can save on their voice networking costs with
Allstream's SIP Services can contact 1-855-299-7050. More details about
Allstream's SIP offering can be found here.
