Service providers of all sizes can take advantage of peering with Appia
TRAVERSE CITY, MI - June 8, 2011 - Appia Communications, Inc., a leading provider of managed communication and network services, today announced the availability of telephone number peering for its wholesale service provider customers.
The peering product connects Appia and its expanded peering network to wholesale customers. By using Appia's peering fabric, calls are established directly between the calling and called parties, which reduces the inbound call charges usually associated with the call.
"When we activated peering on our own network, we saw about five percent of our inbound calls delivered via this method," commented Victor von Schlegell, Appia's president. "This product makes a lot of sense for service providers who want to improve call quality at lower cost."
"We believe our peering solution provides substantial value to service providers who are impacted by inbound usage charges," said Michael Morey, vice president wholesale sales for Appia. "To participate in this cost savings, our wholesale customers provide a list of their telephone numbers currently not on the Appia network. We then deliver all calls bound for those numbers from both Appia and our connected peering network. When calls are delivered this way, our peering customers can experience substantial savings."
In addition to Telephone Number Peering, Appia wholesale offers:
