XOptions Flex
Serves 100,000 Small and Medium Businesses
Designed specifically to provide
low cost, high quality and versatility for the SMB users.
Small and Medium Businesses, also known
as SMBs, need every competitive advantage they can get. In telecommunications,
many are still leery of changing technology to embrace VoIP or
Voice over IP telephony which has been the darling of major corporations
and some consumers. Part of this hesitance has been concern over
the expense and expertise needed to converge voice and data services
on a single network. At the lower end, it can be dissatisfaction
over the quality and reliability of Internet carried telephone
calls based on horror stories from consumer oriented services.
Consequently, many companies stick with what they have and adopt
a wait and see posture toward IP phone systems.
The Strategic Advantage of XO
Meanwhile, over 100,000 business users in 7,500 businesses nationwide
are enjoying the cost savings and increased flexibility of a
suite of VoIP services designed specifically for the SMB, according
to an announcement by XO Communications. XO is a major business
telecommunications provider with its own nationwide fiber optic
network. Many businesses use XO's T1, DS3 and optical carrier
services in lieu of more expensive options from incumbent phone
companies. By expanding their suite of offerings to include IP
based telephony, XO has become an alternative full service phone
company targeted to business users rather than consumers.
Integrates Voice and Data While Preserving
Quality of Service
XOptions Flex has some unique features that make it better suited
to small and medium business locations with up to 160 seats per
location. From a technical perspective, XO has a huge advantage
over other providers in that it provides the transmission network
as well as the services. There is no need to suffer the vagaries
of Internet latencies, packet loss and jitter that can mangle
your phone conversations without warning. XO's private IP network
provides adequate bandwidth with voice packets prioritized over
data. XOptions Flex is a bundled service that is also called
Integrated Voice and Data. Other providers offer integrated voice
and data lines, but XO's product uses dynamic bandwidth allocation.
Any bandwidth not being used for voice service is automatically
allocated for data use.
What this comes down to is a basic service
package that provides unlimited local calling, a package of long
distance and inbound minutes, dedicated Internet access up to
T1 speeds of 1.544 Mbps and web hosting. Options include expansion
of the dynamic bandwidth, blocks of DID extensions, toll free
numbers, auto attendant, managed security and additional phone
lines.
Works With Your Current Phone System
XOptions Flex also works with the phone equipment you already
have. No need to make a major capital investment until that makes
sense, if it ever does. XOptions Flex is compatible with analog
phones, hybrid key systems and traditional PBX systems using
digital trunks, ISDN-PRI or even analog business lines.
