CommentsXO Communications, Inc. (www.xo.com) announced that it is broadening its Wholesale Local Voice services platform to support competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) that offer local and long distance services to residential customers in competition with the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs).
Building on its success in supporting business-focused CLECs, the XO Wholesale Local Voice services platform can now help CLECs focused on residential customers transition off of the RBOCs’ unbundled network element platform (UNE-P) and utilize central office and transport services from XO in order to continue to cost-effectively deliver telephone services.
XO offers its Wholesale Local Voice services platform through more than 950 collocation facilities in 70 metropolitan markets across the United States. The platform offers CLECs a more cost-effective alternative to building local network facilities and presents an opportunity to save between 15 and 30 percent over long-term wholesale agreements with the RBOCs.
“As the largest independent national local exchange carrier, XO can offer CLECs a more cost-effective facilities-based alternative to the Bells’ UNE-P platform,” said Ernie Ortega, president of carrier sales at XO Communications.
To support residential-focused CLECs, the XO Wholesale Local Voice services platform provides a pre-determined block of capacity for telephone lines and a physical connection for transporting voice traffic from the XO collocation facility to the competitive provider’s voice switch.
XO Communications is a leading provider of national and local telecommunications services to businesses, large enterprises and telecommunications companies.
