US LEC Launches Business Class VoIP in Baltimore


Dynamic T(SM) provides integrated Internet and voice solution designed for flexible functionality, cost savings

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US LEC Corp. (NASDAQ:CLEC), a full-service provider of IP, data and voice solutions to businesses and enterprise organizations throughout the Eastern United States, today announced the expansion of its Dynamic T integrated VoIP and Internet solution to the Baltimore area.

"US LEC continues to focus on the solution rather than a single facet of a business's needs," said Chuck Flaherty, regional vice president for US LEC. "Dynamic T provides a total Internet and voice solution that utilizes next- generation voice services with intelligent use of bandwidth."

US LEC offers businesses flexibility for managing their Internet and voice services. First, Internet and voice traffic undergo dynamic allocation, the process of prioritizing traffic into classes of service. Voice traffic always receives priority over other traffic, ensuring delivery, quality and clarity. As voice traffic decreases, other traffic such as Internet, utilizes available bandwidth ensuring businesses get the most from their bandwidth investment.

For businesses looking for cost and operational savings, US LEC offers several features that allow customers to customize Dynamic T based on their communications priorities and productivity needs. Dynamic T SIP provides IP peering capability for applications such as Internet conferencing, telephony, events notification and instant messaging. The BIGData(SM) feature provides customers requiring 4.5 Mbs or more of bandwidth an option to purchase bandwidth incrementally, while BIGVoice(SM) can double the number of available channels over a 1.5 Mbs T1 and may reduce the number of local loops required for voice traffic. And for the teleworker and frequent traveler, US LEC offers a Voice Mail and Mobility Pak that provides advanced voice messaging and mobility services that allow users to control inbound and outbound call preferences based on any combination of caller importance, call time, call location or user availability, Find-Me Follow-Me call functionality and voice mail delivery by e-mail.

Dynamic T travels exclusively on the US LEC network ensuring call quality and reliability identical to traditional voice services, including 911 capabilities. US LEC offers QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees that ensure carrier-grade quality.

Since Dynamic T utilizes IP-based technology, US LEC delivers a feature- rich VoIP experience with productivity tools unavailable with traditional voice services. Users can direct inbound calls to other numbers or number sequences, and specify how individual incoming calls are delivered to ensure import calls get answered. Additionally, remote workers can appear "in-office" when making outbound calls and bill long distance charges to the business phone, all accomplished through a Web-based interface.

In addition to Baltimore, Dynamic T is available in eight other US LEC switching centers including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Fla., Miami, New York, Orlando, Fla., Philadelphia, Tampa, Fla. and Washington, D.C.
