Alianza will provide all components of the hosted voice platform,
including soft switch, application features, rating, CPE provisioning,
monitoring, security, E911, CALEA, reporting, back-office integration,
and end-user self-support interface. Alianza will deliver underlying
carrier services in cooperation with Level 3 Communications® and
SinglePipe Communications.
Alianza’s end-to-end voice platform is built using a unified set of web
services and APIs that will facilitate the platform management and
end-user support functions that will be seamlessly integrated with Open
Range’s back office management system provided by SAP. Relying on
Alianza’s proven voice platform and expertise allows Open Range to focus
on network expansion and market penetration. Alianza’s SaaS-based model
enables Open Range to eliminate voice related capital expenditures and
maximize operating margin on voice services beginning day one. Alianza’s
platform includes industry leading SLAs and around the clock production
support.
"Alianza
offered a turn-key voice service which we found easy to integrate with
our back office and they delivered this at a price point we found
compelling,” said Open Range founder and CEO, Bill Beans Jr. “Alianza is
the ideal solution to Open Range’s need for a completely turn-key,
highly scalable, and customizable voice platform.”
“We are excited to be a part of Open Range’s game changing strategy of
delivering wireless broadband and voice services to un-served and
underserved communities across the United States,” said Brian Beutler,
Chief Executive Officer, Alianza. “The communities they will serve have
traditionally lacked access to cutting edge broadband connectivity and
services, but our partnership will give Open Range customers access to
the highest quality, most reliable voice services available.”
This agreement establishes another benchmark in Alianza’s hosted voice
over WiMAX business that has deployed with over 25 operators including
AT&T and DigitalBridge Communications.
