Voice and data services can potentially improve the quality of life of people. TelePacific Communications, the California-based CLEC providing integrated voice and data telecommunications services to the small and medium-sized business (SMB) customer segment in California and Nevada, confirmed the availability of its SmartVoice services with Ethernet over Copper deployments.
Ethernet over Copper (EoC) offers higher bandwidth at attractive price points compared to traditional T1 lines. TelePacific's SmartVoice portfolio uses Session Initiation Protocol (News 
- Alert) (SIP) for call control and mobility features and is offered as a dynamically integrated solution with Internet access and/or MPLS. SmartVoice enables customers to optimize their network access resources for voice or data traffic as needed. For example, using SmartVoice, voice traffic is prioritized over data traffic so calls come through clearly.
As call paths are released, they dynamically convert to data bandwidth to speed data traffic through the customer's network. This protocol ensures that customers continuously reap the benefit of their network investment based on their calling patterns.
In a statement, Laurene Heinsohn, director of VoIP development for TelePacific Communications (News - Alert), said that Combining SmartVoice with Ethernet over Copper delivery is a natural fit and it allows TelePacific to offer our customers yet another option for their voice and data services. SmartVoice is already an outstanding service and now, with Ethernet over Copper, it's even better, more efficient and more cost effective than before.
Available in business lines, PRI, CAS or native SIP handoff, SmartVoice customers can select up to 120 call paths with integrated Internet access and/or MPLS IP-VPN services. SmartVoice over EoC bandwidths are available from 1 Mbps to 20 Mbps, depending on distance from the serving wire center. In addition, using Ethernet over TDM transport, SmartVoice bandwidth can scale as high as 135 Mbps. The SmartVoice portfolio also includes up to 22 enhanced calling and data feature and local and IntraLATA calling is included for one flat rate.
In the other company news, TMCnet reported that TelePacific Communications is aggressively expanding its Ethernet network.
