ESI Phone Systems Now Interoperate with nTelos

PLANO, Texas & WAYNESBORO, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Estech Systems, Inc. (ESI), an innovative leader in digital and IP business phone systems, and nTelos, a regional integrated communications provider of leading-edge data transport services and broadband Internet access, today announced interoperability between ESI Communications Servers and nTelos SIP trunking service. Customers of certified ESI resellers can now enjoy the benefits provided by nTelos’s Integrated Trunking.

“We deliver cost-effective solutions to business customers who are ready to take advantage of the functionality, interoperability, and flexibility offered by IP communications.”

“We are pleased to have completed the extensive certification with nTelos,” said Doug Boyd, ESI’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “ESI engineers worked closely with nTelos to ensure our SIP trunking capabilities work seamlessly with the Integrated Trunking service offered over the nTelos fiber optic network.”

Businesses and organizations using an ESI Communications Server and nTelos Integrated Trunking together will enjoy an affordable and scalable IP communications solution that offers significant savings. In many cases, the savings provided on phone services exceeds the cost of a new phone system.

ESI Communications Servers, available nation-wide via Certified ESI Resellers, are compact and powerful, delivering standards-based technology in a flexible, easy-to-use, and cost-effective package. nTelos connects businesses to the world by providing data, voice, and broadband IP services throughout the mid-Atlantic region.

“nTelos is committed to investing in progressive technology that creates meaningful customer benefits, especially for linking desktop and wireless devices,” said Glenn Butler, nTelos’s Vice President for Engineering and Planning. “We deliver cost-effective solutions to business customers who are ready to take advantage of the functionality, interoperability, and flexibility offered by IP communications.”

Customers select the ESI Communications Server which meets their needs now and for years to come. ESI Communications Server models, from the ESI-1000 to the ESI-50, vary primarily by their call-handling capacity, so IP communications solutions are available to small-to-medium sized companies. ESI Communications Servers are flexible business phone systems that can support both digital technology and IP-to-the-desktop in any combination.

nTelos Integrated Trunking is ideal for future-focused businesses that have or wish to acquire IP-equipped PBX and key systems. Unlike traditional trunking, Integrated Trunking allows for dynamic bandwidth allocation between Internet access, wide-area network (WAN) connectivity, and voice with a smaller number of trunks required. Integrated Trunking will allow multiple voice sessions on a single, reliable, and scalable broadband connection.
