The popularity of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services as well as other IP communications continues to grow at a rapid pace. As a result, Verizon has launched a new set of offerings that were created to address to the rapid increase of Voice over Internet Protocol in the SMB domain and the ensuing demand for robust high-speed Internet connections. Additionally, Verizon’s new offerings also support the SMB-directed marketing efforts of Verizon Global Wholesale clients.
VGW’s three new packages were designed to cover the vital features and speeds that developing SMBs need to engage customers in innovative and assertive ways and to resolve current connection issues. They include:
- A grouping of the provider’s router hardware with its SIP Gateway Service. This permits wholesale clients to provide SMBs with a fast and efficient way of getting into the VoIP game due to the fact that the SIP Gateway Service transmits VoIP traffic between the traditional telephone network and packet-based IP networks
- Dedicated Internet T1 that plans to combine discounted hardware and low-cost services, making it ideal for businesses with more than 30 employees that handle high volumes of email traffic, large file transfers, and web hosting. A Quality of Service option is available for an additional fee, and largely benefits companies that consolidate key business, video and voice applications onto a converged IP network
- Internet Dedicated Ethernet is geared toward heavy data users and includes an Ethernet connection of either 5Mb or 10Mb with Internet access. This service will bundle discounted Ethernet service and a Samsung iBG1000. Also targeted at companies planning on consolidating their key business, video and voice applications onto a converged Internet Protocol network, this Internet Dedicated Ethernet offering serves as a one-vendor solution that the end-user can ultimately leverage to suit their business model
Verizon Global Wholesale’s senior VP of marketing, Quintin Lew, stated in a recent release that by providing offers that contain both hardware and services, “we’re giving our wholesale customers new ways to support their small- and medium-sized business customers in a time when every nickel and every efficiency counts toward success.” Lew added that the provider’s objective continues to be that of supporting its wholesale customers by providing them with tools that allow them to help SMBs succeed.
