"XOptions Flex gives Colorado Springs businesses the most
comprehensive and flexible VoIP services bundle available in the
market today," said Mark Saffell, general manager of the Colorado
market for XO Communications. "VoIP is truly revolutionizing the
telecommunications industry, and XOptions Flex provides a high
quality and reliable communications solution that integrates voice
and data over a single broadband connection with valuable features
for small and medium-sized businesses that save them time and
money." XOptions Flex leverages the latest in VoIP technology to
provide customers with a range of special communications
capabilities, such as unlimited voice calling, dynamic bandwidth
allocation, voice virtual private networking (VPN), and a simple
Administrative Web Portal. Businesses can take full advantage of
all of these IP-enabled capabilities and features without having to
replace their existing analog phone systems. XOptions Flex utilizes
the XO national IP network and softswitch technology to carry
customers' voice calls more efficiently and cost-effectively than
traditional services that rely on the public switched telephone
network. As a business-class VoIP solution, XOptions Flex also
provides customers with full access to E911 emergency services.
"XOptions Flex enables businesses to get a better return on their
telecommunications budget. In contrast to traditional offerings
that waste voice lines when they are idle, XOptions Flex can
maximize the speed of data by making use of capacity dedicated to
unused voice lines. When there are calls, voice traffic will always
have priority. In this way, businesses get maximum utilization and
value from their integrated access circuit while ensuring the
highest quality of service for voice calls," added Saffell.

calling, and voice mail. Key features of the service include: *
