Airband Communications Launches Full Portfolio of Bundled Voice and Data Services Delivered Via its Fixed-Wireless Network
Businesses to realize significant cost savings and scalability from new enterprise-class offerings
DALLAS – March 17, 2010 – Airband Communications, Inc., the industry’s leading fixed-wireless company for businesses in the U.S., today launched a new suite of bundled services that gives small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) enterprise-class voice and data services at costs well below what traditional providers can offer. The full set of products can address the voice and data needs of virtually every business in Airband markets. Business customers can choose from a variety of voice/data options including hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) service, VoIP lines that replace existing analog business lines and VoIP trunking service that replaces existing PRIs or SIP trunks.
With its new voice services, Airband becomes the first nationwide fixed-wireless company to deliver a full voice product suite over its own network. Airband’s fixed-wireless network creates unparalleled cost and operational advantages, which makes Airband an excellent alternative to other telecom providers including traditional local exchange carriers.
Airband’s new bundled services allow businesses to lower their monthly telecom spend while getting enhanced functionality, integrated access, and highly scalable services. Because Airband delivers its voice and data services via its own fixed-wireless last-mile network, Airband customers do not have to pay additional fees for the local-loop as compared to offerings from traditional wireline service providers. The flexibility of Airband’s network means customers can adjust services easily based on business requirements.
The new packages are designed to be comprehensive so customers can have a full suite of voice solutions that best meets their needs. A small business looking for maintenance-free service without sacrificing features and functionality can leverage Airband’s hosted voice service. Customers who are looking for lower monthly telecom costs without switching phone systems can take advantage of Airband’s VoIP line/trunking services.
“Business customers can now fully benefit from Airband’s fixed-wireless advantage. 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 Jim DaBramo, executive vice president of field operations at Airband. “Airband is committed to providing businesses, especially SMBs, with enterprise-class voice and data services that help boost their operational and financial performance. We have tilted the playing field toward SMBs by giving them options in voice and data services that they may not have today while 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 with 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.
“The investments made in our infrastructure have resulted in the most advanced, fully voice-enabled fixed-wireless network in America,” said Airband President and CEO Tim Kinnear. “Airband is one of the few providers that offers a full portfolio of VoIP services, and we’re proud to do so without reselling another provider’s services. Our holistic business approach, coupled with the lower cost and higher scalability of our bandwidth, sets Airband apart by allowing us to deliver significant value to customers of all sizes.”
Airband currently provides services in markets across the U.S. including Atlanta, Austin, TX; Baltimore; Dallas/Fort Worth; Houston; Los Angeles; Orange County, CA; Philadelphia; Phoenix; San Antonio and San Diego. The company offers its fixed-wireless broadband services on both licensed and licensed-exempt spectrums.
