US LEC Offers New Business Solution

US LEC Corp. (www.uslec.com), a telecommunications carrier serving businesses and enterprise organizations throughout the Eastern United States, today announced the availability of PowerSUITESM – the first “triple play” product offered by a business telecommunications carrier featuring voice, digital video-on-demand (VOD) and High Speed Internet Access (HSIA).

PowerSUITE follows standards set by Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), an industry group created to facilitate the development of next-generation, customer-centric technologies. US LEC and ExtreamTV will offer a single package that unifies guestroom technology onto a common, efficient platform at a lower, combined cost.

“In an era of oft-perceived commodity products, US LEC proves innovation is alive and well,” said Aaron Cowell, president and CEO of US LEC. “US LEC provides a compelling, all-in-one product to a broad range of industries, most notably a hospitality sector yearning for a product that delivers the ‘triple play’ of voice, digital video on demand and Internet. US LEC gives these properties a flexible, technologically- advanced product that is backed by our wealth of experience in telecommunications products and services while also providing an innovative service that can strengthen their bottom line.”

US LEC utilizes the ETV ADVANTAGETM rental program to offer customers a key cost differentiator from other products: There are little upfront capital costs associated with equipment – a major barrier for some properties. In the past, many business and hospitality properties purchased all necessary VOD equipment up front.

“With approximately 10 percent of our customer base in the hospitality sector, US LEC understands many hospitality properties wanted more from their guestroom entertainment and communications services,” Cowell said.

Based in Charlotte, N.C., US LEC is a leading telecommunications carrier providing integrated voice, data and Internet services to medium and large businesses and enterprise organizations throughout 16 Eastern states and the District of Columbia.

Based in Massachusetts, ETV is a leading supplier of technology and entertainment solutions for high-speed network access, and digital video on demand. The solution systems provided by ETV bring together the best products available in the market to provide a custom fit for each customer.
