Telecom in the News; Integra Telecom

NWMAP brings you updates in Telecom making the news. Integra Telecom made a few headlines this month, including the announcement of their new CEO, Kevin O’ Hara. Kevin was formerly co-founder of Level 3 and company board member. He is taking over for Tom Casey.

Integra has made most of their headlines due to the widespread and fast growing expansion of services this last year. In a recent article it states that Integra extended Hosted VoIP across its entire network. Integra is giving its business customers options. Since no two businesses are the same, businesses have the option to purchase a basic phone system with traditional calling features or a completely hosted solution with a dedicated switch.

Pairing its network with PBX gear from vendors including Mitel and NEC, the Managed PBX service is a completely managed premise-based system that provides businesses with a fixed monthly price. One of the clear benefits of the service, especially for smaller businesses with little or no IT staff, is that it can reduce reduce the complexity of managing separate equipment and service vendors.

Also making headlines is Megapath with its enhanced managed security suite. Among the many updates are in-the-cloud signature updates, scanning, and cleaning to create what MegaPath says will be “a steady flow of clean data to businesses.”  Taking care of security threats before they become a problem is certainly a proactive solution.  
 

Telecom in the News: November 2011

At the end of the month, NWMAP Telecom likes to update our agents and clients on the Telecom that made news.

One of our carriers has seen a lot of news this past month; Paetec recently acquired former Intellifiber/Cavalier and the acquisition between Paetec and Windstream has the FCC’s approval. What does this mean for customers? As stated by the agency: “poses no significant competitive harms and should provide benefits to residential and business customers resulting from Windstream offering a broader range of competitive services in the markets served by the combined company.”

Integra continues to up their game. We’re hearing from them in the news continuously and it clearly symbolizes their increasingly predominant presence in the telecom industry. To better provide customers telecom services, Integra Telecom is reaching out by putting ADTRAN to work on Ethernet solutions.

Another source for Telecom news concerning your business and HD video meetings is https://blog.imeet.com/. Recently they’ve focused on a series of blog postings about digital meetings disasters. This is valuable for those that have iMeet services and those wanting to learn about the technology.

Hope you’ve had an excellent November, from NWMAP!
