Network Billing Systems LLC (NBS (News - Alert)) today said that it is acquiring operations of Simlab.net, a New Jersey-based managed service provider (MSP) specializing in deployment of managed private Wide Area Networks, Internet and VoIP services.

 

Both the companies have been providing services for the last five years, and the companies’ officials said that synergies available through such an acquisition became evident over time.

 

Established in 1984, NBS provides a wide variety of voice, data, and Internet services to a diverse customer base that includes residential, small business, and large corporate clients. The company also offers Voice over Internet Communications Exchange (V.o.I.C.E.), a fully featured VoIP platform providing hosted and trunk replacement voice services.

 

On the completion of the acquisition, NBS believes that the combined resources will enhance its capacity to provide traditional facilities based telecom, advanced IP voice communications and IT services as well as managed network services and high-speed internet connectivity.

 

Jon Kaufman, founder and CEO of NBS, said that the combined operation will seamlessly supply our customers with a suite of traditional and IP based voice services, along with a full complement of data and Internet services.

 

He also said that the integration of Simlab affords NBS the opportunity to add facilities based managed services status to its existing arsenal, adding that “Simlab's CPE and broadband solutions further strengthen NBS' reputation as a complete communications provider, offering a true one-stop shop approach.”

 

“As we continue to add new features, systems, and capabilities to our services platform, it is important that we maintain our leadership role in flexible, custom-tailored solutions,” said Russell P. Markman, president at NBS.

 

He also said that the addition of Simlab's management team and employees provides NBS with this opportunity, through their experience and abilities in facilities based as well as carrier agnostic connectivity, WAN deployment, and QoS intensive applications.

 

“Not only are the combined product offerings a marriage made in heaven, the combination of employee talent and overall industry knowledge gives NBS a major advantage over its competition,” added Anthony Hidalgo, former executive vice president at Simlab.net (News - Alert), who joined NBS as vice president of product development.
