ATLANTA, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EarthLink,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading IT services and communications
provider, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media
company, has selected EarthLink Complete™ Hosted Voice and
EarthLink Complete™ SIP Trunking as recipients of its 2011
Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award for
Innovation.
"I am happy to grant EarthLink two Product of the Year Awards.
The editors of Internet Telephony independently verified
that both EarthLink Complete Hosted Voice and EarthLink Complete
SIP Trunking display quality and innovation, plus provide real
solutions in the marketplace," stated Rich
Tehrani, CEO of TMC. "I would like to congratulate the
entire EarthLink team for their commitment to advancing IP
communication technologies."
Launched nationwide in December of 2011, EarthLink Complete
Hosted Voice and EarthLink Complete SIP Trunking are part of the
new EarthLink Complete™ suite of business voice, data networking,
and Internet access solutions. EarthLink Complete integrates
leading-edge hosted Voice over IP applications and managed MPLS
networks with equipment, mobile and security offerings to provide
businesses with a fully customizable communications portfolio
leveraging the company's expansive network and state-of-the-art
secure IP infrastructure.
Key EarthLink Complete differentiators include the flexibility
to select a blend of access technologies for connectivity,
including DSL, T1 and Ethernet, all of which provide Quality of
Service (QoS). EarthLink can also customize a managed
multi-location network and prioritize network traffic utilizing
multiple access technologies to meet a customer's specific
requirements and provide critical application performance.
"Countless EarthLink employees worked diligently to bring these
innovative products to market, and we sincerely thank Internet
Telephony magazine and TMC for this recognition," said
Barbara Dondiego, EarthLink Chief
Marketing Officer. "The entire EarthLink Complete suite of
solutions dramatically expands our ability to offer businesses of
all sizes a single-source, comprehensive solution and the
scalability and features to keep pace with today's dynamic
environment. Paired with our personalized support, we believe that
EarthLink Complete empowers our customers by delivering the freedom
they need to focus on their core business."
EarthLink Complete Hosted Voice enables businesses to obtain a
Hosted IP PBX solution without the cost of purchasing a PBX or key
system. Customers can forward calls to multiple phones and use a
simple web-based management tool to gain on-demand system
management control and user customization.
This fully scalable solution can grow as a business evolves, and
helps to mitigate cost issues associated with equipment that might
quickly become outdated. EarthLink's online Hosted Voice demo
offers the opportunity to conveniently demo and sample the
solution's features online via any computer.
EarthLink Complete SIP Trunking is ideal for businesses that
want to use their existing SIP- enabled PBX equipment to take
advantage of the latest Voice over IP networking technologies.
EarthLink can simplify the network solution by using its data
network to pass various combinations of voice and data traffic
while seamlessly connecting to customer-owned Cisco, Avaya, NEC or
Mitel equipment. EarthLink's SIP Trunking solution offers
advantages for customers, as they can leverage a single connection
for both voice and data while benefiting from a converged minutes
plan that yields cost optimization. Because SIP Trunking can
automatically connect to a secondary connection, it is a fall over
option for business continuity that also provides dependable
disaster recovery support.
2011 Product of the Year winners were published in the
January/February 2012 issue of
Internet Telephony magazine, a leader in IP communication
since 1998.
