PAETEC Communications Blazes iPATH Transit Service Suite

PAETEC Communications Inc. (Booth 407), which has invested $10 million in VoIP technology, has initiated a national launch of its iPATH VoIP Transit Services Suite.

PAETECs wholesale portfolio continues to evolve to meet the needs of service providers, said Patrick Tata, vice president of PAETEC Wholesale Markets. Our iPATH VoIP transit suite of services reinforces PAETECs commitment to enabling our clients to grow their business in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the service quality for which PAETEC is renowned.

The suite, designed for VoIP-based service providers, initially includes SIP-based DID aggregation service and 1+ VoIP domestic termination. Both products provide a cost-effective alternative to the IXC for the transport of IP traffic and, in the specific case of the aggregated product, offer wholesale service providers a means to obtain rapid market expansion by delivering multimarket DID traffic to a single centralized location.

With the ability to offer both G.711 and G.729 compression standards, and with delivery available over several mediums, further economies also can be realized through the products deployment.

The Wholesale iPATH services complement PAETECs retail product suite, comprised of Dynamic Bandwidth T1 (converged voice and data services with dynamic bandwidth allocation) and Hosted IP Telephony (includes Hosted IP Centrex and Hosted IP PBXs). Leveraging its Private-IP MPLS network with QoS on a nationwide basis, Hosted IP Telephony customers also have access to collaboration services, such as voice messaging, automatic call distribution, hosted voice VPN and auto attendant.
