CommPartners Connect Integrates Packet Island Technology with IP Network to Enable Pre-Assessments and Monitoring for SMB VoIP Deployments
Channel Partners, Las Vegas, NV--Packet Island, the leading provider of VoIP lifecycle management solutions, today announced that CommPartners Connect, a nationwide CLEC certified, facilities based network operator providing VoIP and TDM services to carriers as well as enhanced hosted applications to small and medium sized businesses through its channel of resellers, has integrated Packet Island technology into its core network. The integration will assist VARs utilizing Packet Island appliances to complete pre-assessments and monitoring of IP communications deployments for their SMB customers on the CommPartners Connect network resulting in a quality VoIP adoption experience. PacketPro™ is a powerful remote VoIP Lifecycle Management and Packet Sniffing solution. It consists of a 4” x 5” micro-appliance in a sturdy portable kit that can be easily shipped to a customer site experiencing network issues. Packet Island’s hosted service enables this micro-appliance to be used as a remote ethereal sniffer to diagnose a broad variety of network problems.
“As one of the leading wholesalers and networks for IP communications solutions for business, CommPartners Connect is now uniquely positioned to enable VARs using the Packet Island assessment and monitoring tools to pre-assess their customer access networks prior to VoIP deployment,” said Don Lewis, VP of Services at Packet Island. “On carriers without this capability, a VAR only has simple ICMP-based techniques available to test the VoIP readiness of the customer’s access network. This approach often proves unreliable since such data techniques cannot create the same high-packet rate scenarios imposed by VoIP traffic. Our solution also enable VARs to have a life cycle quality management tool for all of their IP Communications customer deployments.”
According to Lewis, with Packet Island’s solution integrated with the CommPartners Connect network, VARs can now deploy simple plug-and-play devices at customer sites to perform a multi-hour/multi-day VoIP test simulating 50-100 phones making calls directly to the carriers’ core IP network. “This allows the VAR to ensure that the LAN and WAN have the prerequisites to ensure a successful VoIP deployment and ongoing quality service,” Lewis said..
“We are pleased to provide VARs and their end user customers with the capability to utilize the Packet Island technology on their IP communications deployments on our network,” said Mark Peterson, EVP, Sales and Marketing at CommPartnersConnect. “One way to enhance customer satisfaction is to ensure that customer networks are ready for deployment. Pre-assessing before implemention and taking appropriate actions can eliminate time consuming and expensive troubleshooting exercises.”
C3IP Communications, a service provider utilizing the CommParters Connect network and IP communications solutions has been utililzing the Packet Island technology. “We are using the Packet Island tool on every new customer deployment for pre-assessing and monitoring to ensure a high quality customer experience,” said Cory Miller, a C3IP principal. ”We see great value in the tool and especially when it is tied to our carriers’ core network,” Miller said.
