Our telecom consultants review your current spend, usage, technology requirements, hours of operation, as well as geographic locations to provide several viable options for your business from POTS, to T1 PRI service, to VOIP T1, to SIP Trunks to SIP over Fiber and more. For businesses with multiple locations we review the possibilities of leveraging MPLS instead of point to point T1 technologies or VPN to see how MPLS can benefit you business. Businesses are requiring larger bandwidth and in most geographic areas the onset of ethernet over copper or 10 meg is a viable option. Due to the popularity of hosted applications and businesses going virtual and leveraging data centers, the need for a secondary backup internet connection (typically over DSL or Cable) has become a good solution. Our telecom consultants can also assist when your business requires one bill for all sites as well as home workers. Is your business looking to increase its geographic footprint? You can easily add out of non local and state phone numbers to your main location with SIP telephone number portability. Finally, wireless secondary solutions are becoming more prevalent as a reliable backup solution.e to grow with your business in the future. If you properly leverage your communication solution you can increase coverage hours, increase your footprint, provider quicker and more responsive customer service and communicate more effectively with your staff in the field. Improve your customer service experience by implementing simply call routing to allow for better call handling. Leverage simple telecommuter, soft phone, VPN phone, IP Phone, SIP soft phone, and mobile twinning or bridging technology to connect your entire enterprise.

Clients are performing more bandwidth intensive tasks. Whether you are leveraging hosted applications, a data center, or your business is requiring more bandwidth to perform daily duties. Our IT consultants can perform dial tone and internet analysis to review all options you have for alternative carriers or reviewing all new technologies that might allow your business to communicate quicker and easier with less downtime. We have noticed that businesses suffer from internet outages a couple times a year if they don't have a good internet provider in place. Have you ever explored the use of a second internet provider (ISP) as an automatic backup for your primary internet connection.

The increased need for more bandwidth has driven down the price of data T1s, dynamic T1s, DS3, Fiber, 10MEG, and 100 MEG. Wireless internet solutions have become more viable options for secondary connection in order for your business to stay up and running when your primary internet connection were to fail or the physical cable was cut.

Ethernet over copper has become more popular. As nationwide service providers attempt to provide this service, clients are benefiting from faster internet speeds at a business class level. In the past, Fiber and Cable connections were the only way a client could get faster speeds. Fiber is still expensive today as service providers make clients pay for facilities upgrades, unless your building is lit today with fiber. Whereas cable is an awesome alternative, however it lacks the business class guarantees that you are use to from your business T1 provider.

Multiple site businesses are exploring the use of MPLS to connect sites instead of using VPN solutions. The MPLS cloud allows for guaranteed connections to the main and remote sites. In some circumstances, it also allows for a managed firewall / vpn solution in the cloud to increase overall corporate uptime and a centralized point of management for firewall, vpn, and content filtration.

Small to medium sized businesses are converting standard POTS lines or traditional T1 PRI connections and moving to VOIP T1 or dynamic T1 to provide voice services. Since these are dynamic T1s they provide both voice and internet services at a more cost effective way. When businesses convert from a traditional T1 to a dynamic T1, they also benefit from a higher level of monitoring as the T1 is now considered a data T1 and the service provider gets alerts when a data T1 is down; whereas, a traditional voice T1 PRI cannot be monitored if it is down.

SIP trunking and SIP T1s (also know as dynamic SIP T1s) are also becoming more prevalent across the nation. SIP trunking provides a less expensive cost to provide voice services, while sharing a large internet connection. Service providers have alerting and monitoring mechanisms on SIP trunks that allow them to see when the circuit is down and also allows the provider to fail over to another site. Lastly, SIP providers number portability which is not available on any other service. Commonly known as virtual DIDs, businesses that have one site in Minnesota can now have nationwide phone numbers to increase nationwide presence as well as allow remote sales force to have a better local presence without incurring the fees of a remote call forward setup.
