AT&T Expands Wholesale VoIP Service

AT&T just announced the expansion of its Voice Over IP Connect Service (AVOICS) service availability. The operator has provided VoIP service solutions to US customers for more than 10 years.

AT&T has expanded the scale and scope of its wholesale VoIP services to all of AT&T's wholesale customers in the US. Moreover, the operator will provide VoIP services to the UMB Bank, a leading provider of banking and financial services. This should bring smaller costs for placing calls under reliable terms.

"AT&T is helping our wholesale customers evolve to the next generation of converged communications through our suite of VoIP services", commented Sherry Charles, vice president, Wholesale Segment Marketing, AT&T Operations. Moreover, "The breadth of VoIP offerings that we supply enable service providers to cost-effectively broaden the customers' footprint and enhance their bandwidth through our robust MPLS-based network with the proven reliability and security that they expect from a global networking leader", he continued.

This operator worked with customers in order to customize converged solutions that support their unique VoIP requirements. "AT&T continues to be a significant global player in wholesale VoIP and is enhancing its portfolio to continually meet evolving customer needs", considers Cindy Whelan, senior analyst, Business Network Services, at Wholesale Services for Current Analysis.

There is a great number of advantages triggered by using VoIP services. First of all, they connect customers to one of the world's most advanced, secure and powerful global IP networks. Disruption or delays are only seldom experienced, which also lead to the development of AT&T's VoIP network up to this point.

VoIP makes it possible to route calls through the Internet on an IP-based network. The greatest advantage of this technology is the small costs needed for deploying it and also the low fees that users have to pay.
