Phoenix businesses can save money with Airband because its voice and data services are delivered over the company’s wholly owned, fixed-wireless last-mile network, bypassing the wireline local loop to provide cost savings for customers. Airband’s voice and data services are delivered over one integrated Ethernet connection, making it easy to install and manage. The fixed-wireless network advantages make Airband an excellent alternative to traditional local exchange carriers and cable providers.

AZ-TECH Radiology, a Phoenix-based diagnostic radiology service provider, has been delivering quality care to patients for more than 10 years at its various East Valley locations. AZ-TECH chose Airband for scalable, secure and reliable Internet access to ensure the delivery of exceptional care to its patients. The company deployed Airband’s solutions in May 2009, and after 3 months, it expanded its use of the solutions to multiple locations and is now deploying Airband’s hosted voice service.

“Airband’s stable network not only delivers secure, scalable voice and data services but at lower costs. By using Airband, we now have a faster connection, guaranteed uptime, and we are paying less per month,” said Russell Wood, IT manager for AZ-TECH Radiology. “Working with Airband was the best decision that we could have made and now we’re expanding our services on their network to add hosted VoIP.”

In addition to lowering costs, Airband’s new bundled offerings give Phoenix businesses enhanced voice functionality and highly scalable Internet access service. Customers can easily adjust services based on demand because Airband’s fixed-wireless network is not restricted to traditional T1 increments. Customers can choose from a variety of Airband voice options, including hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) service, VoIP lines that replace existing business lines and VoIP trunking service that replaces existing PRIs or SIP trunks.

The new packages are designed to be comprehensive so customers can select from a full suite of voice services to obtain the solution that best meets their needs. A small business looking for maintenance-free service can leverage Airband’s hosted voice service without sacrificing features and functionality. Customers who want to keep their current phone system but reduce monthly telecom costs will benefit from Airband’s VoIP line/trunking services.

“Phoenix businesses can now fully benefit from Airband’s fixed-wireless voice and data services. The quality of service (QoS) of our IP-based, last-mile network is on par with, and in many cases is better than the aging wired infrastructure of traditional telecom providers,” said Matthew Milliron, vice president and general manager of Airband’s Phoenix-based West Region. “Airband is committed to providing Phoenix businesses, especially SMBs, with enterprise-class voice and data service options that they might not have today, while still meeting their need to reduce monthly telecom costs.”

The new bundled services provide customers with an extremely scalable Internet access pipe with a wide range of voice options. The new voice solutions include:

• Hosted VoIP – a fully managed VoIP service that lets businesses eliminate the hassles and cost of managing on-site phone systems. Airband’s hosted VoIP service provides customers with the functionality of an enterprise system and the ability to easily customize calling features via a Web portal.
• Analog Line Replacement – allows customers with small PBXs and key systems to replace costly business lines from traditional telephony providers with lower-cost VoIP services, while keeping their existing phone system and functionality.
• PRI Replacement – medium-to-large enterprises can reduce costs by replacing their existing PRI service with Airband’s VoIP Trunking service.
• SIP Trunking – customers with IP PBXs can save monthly expenses by leveraging Airband’s SIP Trunking services.

In all cases, Airband’s services can be installed in a matter of days instead of weeks like with traditional providers. And because Airband’s wireless services are highly scalable, customers can easily and quickly change service levels so that they pay only for the services they need.

2. Local and Inbound Calls Threshold. If, over any consecutive three month period, the monthly average per Station (if Hosted-Station-Based) or per line (Line-Based) or per Trunk (if Trunked-Based) of Customer’s use the Services for Local Outbound Calls plus all Inbound Calls equals or exceeds 1,250 minutes of use, Airband shall have the right without notice, to charge Customer in the future for the Services in accordance with a rate plan reflecting such use. Airband’s records shall be the sole basis for all calculations described in this section. Local Outbound Calls are all calls that, according to Airband’s records, originate from the Customer location set forth on the Service Order and terminate in the same local calling area, as that local calling area is defined by the incumbent local exchange carrier. Inbound Calls are all calls that, according to Airband’s records, terminate at the Customer location set forth on the Service Order regardless of where such calls originate.

3. Caller ID. Customer shall not change its outbound caller identification number. In the event that the Customer does change any of its outbound caller identification numbers, Airband reserves the right to charge Customer an additional $0.10 per minute surcharge to all outbound minutes.

4. Fraud Prevention. Customer has the sole responsibility to monitor and prevent fraud on their VoIP Service and ensure the security of its voicemail password and portal passwords. Passwords should be a minimum of 6 digits, non-repeating, non-patternized or sequential numbers. The customer shall be financially responsible to Airband for any fraudulent usage charges incurred, regardless of Customer’s involvement.

5. Predictive Dialers. VoIP Services do not support predictive dialer applications. In the event that one of the two following call types occurs, Airband reserves the right to apply additional charges as follows:

a. Unanswered Calls: If less than 60% of Customer’s total call attempts are completed (or more than 40% are incomplete) in any calendar month per trunk, lines or hosted station, Airband reserves the right, at Airband’s sole discretion, to either disconnect the circuit or to charge $10 per month per trunk, line or hosted station.

b. Short duration calls: If 10% or more of Customer’s completed calls are equal to or less than 6 seconds in length (each a “Short Duration Call”) during any calendar month, Airband reserves the right to charge an additional $0.01 surcharge per Short Duration Call, which surcharge shall be in addition to Customer’s other usage charges.

6. Additional Provisions.

a. Customer acknowledges that the voice-enabled Airband Equipment used to provide VoIP Services requires electricity to work, and that the VoIP Services, including the ability to access 911 services and home security and medical monitoring services, may not operate in the event of a power outage or if Customer’s internet connection is disrupted or not operating for any reason. Customer further acknowledges that any battery included in the voice-enabled Airband Equipment may enable back-up service for a limited period of time or not at all during power outages, and that inclusion of the battery does not ensure that VoIP Services will be available in all circumstances.

b. Airband will not be responsible for any losses or damages arising as a result of the unavailability of VoIP Services, including but not limited to inability to reach 911 or other emergency services, or to contact Customer’s security or monitoring systems provider. Airband does not guarantee or represent that the VoIP Services will operate with any security or monitoring services. Customer shall be solely responsible for contacting all of Customer’s security and/or monitoring providers to test Customer’s system’s operation with the VoIP Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for the cost of any such testing and any fees for configuring Customer’s security or monitoring systems to work with the VoIP Services. Customer further acknowledges that the Services are subject to certain laws and regulations and that Airband reserves the right to modify the Service or require Customer to provide additional information or make changes for Airband to continue providing the Service in compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.

c. The location and address associated with VoIP Services will be the address identified on the Service Order. Customer shall not move Airband Equipment from the location and address in which it has been installed unless otherwise consented to by Airband. If the voice-enabled Airband Equipment is moved to an address different than that identified on the Service Order, calls from the voice-enabled Airband Equipment to 911 will appear to 911 emergency service operators to be coming from the address identified on the Service Order and not the new address.

d. In the event of a material error or omission affecting Customer’s directory listing information, regardless of form or fault by Airband, including the erroneous inclusion in published directory listings of any information that Customer intends not to have published, Customer’s sole remedy shall be a service credit in an amount set by Airband’s then-current standard policies or an amount prescribed by applicable regulatory requirements, whichever is greater. Airband shall have no other liability for errors, omissions or mistaken inclusions in directory listings.

e. Whereas Airband is providing Customer with certain VOIP Services, but at certain locations as noted on the applicable Service Orders, is not providing any underlying circuits or other transport facilities over which the VOIP Services are transmitted, including but not limited to any Internet Access or IP network services. As such, identifying the root cause of any quality issues of the VOIP Services may be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Accordingly, Customer agrees that Airband shall not be responsible, and Customer shall not attempt to hold Airband responsible, in any way at any time for the quality of the VOIP Services. Further, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the VOIP Services provided by Airband at the locations where Airband does not provide the underlying circuits or other transport facilities over which the VOIP Services are transmitted is not covered by any version of Airband’s Unified Service Level Agreement, as amended from time to time, and that Customer shall not be eligible for any credits or other compensation for performance or service issues concerning in any way the VOIP Services ordered by Customer under the Agreement.

Business VOIP (Voice over IP) has revolutionized the way many Dallas companies operate, offering reduced phone costs, increased flexibility, and incredible call features that can seamlessly integrate voice, data, and cellular services over a single network. If your company hasn’t made the switch yet, consider Airband, the country’s largest and most reliable fixed-wireless provider of data and voice services for business.

Instead of utilizing traditional copper wires, business VOIP transfers voice communications digitally via an IP network. This means that Dallas businesses that convert to Voice over IP no longer have to manage separate voice and data networks, which saves them time and money. In addition, since VOIP users are charged per megabyte, instead of per minute, they can realize tremendous savings immediately.

A Voice over IP service provider like Airband can be a boon to any Dallas-based business, no matter what its size. If you’re a growing company, your current wireline phone services might be covering your basic needs, but what about five years in the future? If you have employees who are constantly on the road or a busy call center to manage, you might already be spending too much time managing your phone system.

If you’re putting off upgrading to an efficient, powerful Voice over IP service because you’re worried about the upfront costs for your business, your solution is here. Not only does Airband provide cutting-edge services quickly, but we offer Fortune 500-level technology at a price even a small business can afford.

How Airband Provides Superior Business Voice Over IP Service in Dallas

Our prices are lower because we don’t have the overhead expenses of traditional wireline communications providers: namely, the wires! While your cable or phone company has to lease their lines–a fee they then pass on to customers–our fixed-wireless network bypasses such issues effortlessly. Instead of waiting weeks or even months for cable to be pulled to your location and installed in your building, we’ll simply provide you with a small transmitter to receive our RF frequencies.

Voice over IP service has never been more affordable or accessible in Dallas. Our standard package features at least five stations, online access to our Customer Resource Center, unlimited local calling, 200 free long-distance minutes per station (continental US), 911, and more.

There are many benefits to switching from a traditional telephone system to business Voice over IP. For example, our services are typically much less expensive than that of a public switched telephone network (PSTN)–instead of paying a per-minute fee, you only pay for the amount of data you transmit. Plus, our services are far more adaptable to the needs of your company, with a much shorter lead time.

 Get Speed and Flexibility From a Voice Over IP Provider in Dallas

With business Voice over IP from Airband, your Dallas business can have 2 to 20 mbps of service delivered in days, not months, with no upfront investment and no equipment to buy.
