Northern Virginia-based open standards communications solutions provider, EtherSpeak Communications, has introduced unlimited pricing plans for its SureTrunk service, the first-of-its-kind native SIP Trunking for the ShoreTel (News - Alert) platform. With the new unlimited pricing plans, known as Freedom plans, EtherSpeak hopes to boost the adoption of next-generation IP telephony by the ShoreTel community.
Neil Darling, president and CEO of EtherSpeak, commented on the introduction of the new pricing plans.
“This is a sign of our reinforcing commitment towards supporting the resellers and customers of the ShoreTel community. The ShoreTel Unified Communications (News - Alert) solution has achieved significant market penetration and we are very pleased to help customers unleash the power and flexibility through SIP-based communications,” he explained.
The Freedom plans have already been implemented and include a monthly rate as low as $32.50 per trunk for local and long distance calling in the continental U.S. and Canada. Customers of ShoreWare-based IP phone systems are also being offered BurstaTrunk service options along with the SureTrunk solution.
In July, SureTrunk earned the distinction of being certified as a ShoreTel Technology Partner Program (TPP) solution. It is the only managed or premised-based SIP Trunking service in the world that allows ShoreTel customers to enjoy all the advantages of IP-enabled communications. It also eliminates the requirements of additional hardware, firewalls or gateways. Because it allows customers to migrate without enterprise edge devices such as local PSTN gateways, ISDN Basic Rate Interfaces (BRIs) or Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs), SureTrunk also eliminates the risks associated with SIP trunking.
Also in July, TMCnet reported the launch of SureTrunk. Since the launch, the solution has been very well-received by ShoreTel resellers and customers.
Sunnyvale, California-based ShoreTel offer an award-winning voice platform targeted at businesses seeking key system behavior from their IP phone systems.
