Global Crossing Launches VoIP Ready-Access Conferencing Service
o VoIP connection to Ready-Access audio conferencing provides economic benefits by eliminating toll charges.
o Service justifies and simplifies transition to a converged IP solution for collaboration, voice and data applications.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Sept. 7 / - Global Crossing (NASDAQ:GLBC) announced today yet another way to encourage enterprise customers to migrate to a converged IP solution by combining its Ready- Access® audio conferencing service with its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) connection, giving users an efficient and convenient way to combine the value and ease of an on-demand audio conferencing service with the cost savings of VoIP.
VoIP Ready-Access service provides users with a connection to an on-net private dialing plan that lets them access Global Crossing's flagship reservationless, on-demand Ready-Access audio conferencing service. Global Crossing Ready-Access has a robust set of audio conferencing features and is fully integrated with Global Crossing Ready-Access Web Meeting and Global Crossing Live Meeting (provided by Microsoft). VoIP Ready-Access uses a converged IP network for both the audio and Web features. This lets users share slides and applications, as well as record meetings, making conferences more efficient and productive.
"Global Crossing is combining the power of its collaboration services with the efficiencies of our managed, converged IP network to help enterprise customers fully integrate audio conferencing into their VoIP solutions," said Anthony Christie, Global Crossing's chief marketing officer. "By providing IP access to our audio conferencing service, we can significantly reduce our customers' expenses, and by using our managed converged IP network, customers can focus attention on managing their own business."
VoIP Ready-Access Service is a feature of both Global Crossing VoIP On-Net Plus and VoIP Outbound services. VoIP On-Net Plus Service(TM) is a fully integrated voice virtual private network that helps enterprises decrease toll charges on calls between company sites without the need for additional equipment at each location. The service, which makes it possible for customers to complete calls to their office locations via Global Crossing's worldwide VoIP network, also helps customers simplify their transition to a converged VoIP solution.
The new VoIP Ready Access Audio Conferencing Service allows VoIP On-Net Plus and VoIP Outbound services customers to use their private dialing plans and save on toll charges not only when they make two-way calls, but also when they set up audio conferences. The new capability routes calls via Global Crossing's VoIP network to its hosted, highly scalable and reliable audio conferencing ports.
Enterprise customers can now dial into Ready-Access audio conferences from converged connections based on IP VPN, direct Internet access or public Internet access. Using these access methods provides an end-to-end IP connection to Global Crossing's audio conferencing ports and eliminates toll charges or termination fees.
Global Crossing continues to provide TDM access to the Ready-Access audio conferencing service as a feature of its Outbound Voice Service, and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) access for off-campus locations, using existing toll free or direct dial access methods.
VoIP Ready-Access combines Global Crossing's industry-leading enterprise VoIP services portfolio with its expertise in audio conferencing services to deliver a fully-integrated and managed audio, video and Web conferencing collaboration solution. Global Crossing's fully managed converged IP network provides voice, data, video and IP services to carrier, enterprise and government customers with superior quality, reliability, availability and scalability.
