BandTel (News - Alert) has partnered with ShoreTel to integrate BandTel SIP Trunking with ShoreTel’s (News - Alert) distributed unified communication platform.

BandTel SIP Trunking extends the ability of ShoreTel’s unified communications solutions to allow businesses to seamlessly integrate communications with business processes, for a more collaborative and productive enterprise.

With this, the companies’ joint customers will have access to a superior quality, economical IP replacement service for traditional dedicated lines such as T-1, DSL, or PRI, for use in accommodating long distance telephone calls.

Many larger businesses have been using dedicated circuits such as T-1, DSL, or PRI as a means to originate and receive long distance telephone services at dramatically reduced rates when compared to direct dialed services.

BandTel SIP Trunking allows businesses of all sizes to take advantage of this opportunity thanks to the certified interoperability of ShoreTel and BandTel. Unique from many other vendors offering SIP trunks, BandTel does not offer services that are competitive with partners such as ShoreTel, but rather focuses on a synergistic relationship with its partners and their customers.

“We are pleased that BandTel has become one of ShoreTel’s technology partners,” Mark Arman, vice president of business development for ShoreTel said.

“With solutions from both BandTel and ShoreTel, customers will receive the highest level of voice quality and unprecedented reliability”
