ShopforMPLS.com Launched
The time has finally come to welcome the latest addition to the Commission River family of marketing sites: ShopforMPLS.com! It was officially launched and has already started to bring in the big-ticket customers. This new web site gives you the opportunity to know one of the fastest growing segments of commercial broadband market today - Multiprotocol Label Switching.
MPLS provides dedicated commercial Internet customers with unrivaled performance and exceptional value. It is the perfect solution for environments where real-time voice or video traffic is a top priority. All packets traveling across a customer's network are automatically labeled according to the type of traffic they are carrying. This allows packets that are most sensitive to network latency to be given top priority over less critical traffic like e-mail and web browsing. The end result is an intelligently routed network that provides superior reliability without the need for additional equipment or monitoring on the part of the customer.
TELARUS parteners with BANDTEL for SIP Trunking!
SIP what? Simply put, SIP is a technology that enables VoIP hardware to effectively route to different IP addresses on the Internet, making it possible for businesses to answer a call, put the caller on hold, and transfer the call to another office in Europe - all over the Internet using VoIP.
Enterprise Services: Ethernet, SIP, MPLS
While T1's have been our staple in the past, Telarus has recently released new sales tools that have enabled agents to begin quoting and selling upstream products such as Ethernet, SIP Trunking, and MPLS.
Ethernet 101!
Simply put, Etherne Broadband requires a direct fiber connection between the customer and the carrier. This glass connection allows customers the ability to enjoy between 10 MB - 1 GB broadband speeds. Our customers can use this to connect to the Internet or to connect themselves to other offices within their same company. Telarus has created a site for you where you can generate ethernet broadband price quotes.
SIP Voice Service
With SIP Trunking our customers can save money by connecting their IP PBX Systems directly to one of our many VoIP providers via broadband. SIP trunks give business customers the ability to bypass the local telephone company's traditional analog (PSTN) network and connect directly to a VoIP carrier, often at tremendous savings.
MPLS Service
MPLS, or Multi Protocol Label Switching, is quickly replacing Frame Relay and ATM as the technology of choice for carrying high-speed data and digital voice on a single connection. MPLS not only provides customers with better reliability and increased performance, but can often decrease their overall costs through increased network efficiency. Its ability to assign priority to packets carrying voice traffic makes it the perfect solution for carrying VoIP calls. Telarus can now provide price quotes from a number of carriers utilizing MPLS technology.
T1 Lines - Our Bread and Butter!
A T1 line is a dedicated high-speed internet connection that businesses use to connect to the Internet. Many businesses are too big and rely on their connection too much to risk their future with a DSL line, so T1 is their only answer. Prices of T1 lines have come down from $1000 in 2001, to around $375 today. Using Telarus Geoquote, you can get a real-time T1 Price Quote, or you can just link to ShopforT1.com, the main T1 shopping portal.
POTS now available in GeoQuote
We are excited to announce the addition of yet another new product to GeoQuote: POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), or local phone lines. For years agents have struggled with POTS, as many carriers monitor the status of T1 routers through a POTS line, not to mention fax lines, emergency lines, etc. Now closers will have the ability to research availability, prices, and the prices of add-on features including voicemail, conference calling, caller ID, and more.
