Telesphere Launches in Salt Lake City Delivering Innovative Telecommunication Services to Businesses

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telesphere, a private IP network provider for voice and data solutions, has launched its innovative platform in Salt Lake City, and is now offering telecommunication services to local businesses. Telesphere’s platform is one of the most advanced in the industry, and yet, is as simple to use as a regular land line phone.

Using state-of-the-art hosted voice technology, the company combines all local and long distance voice services, high-speed Internet access, data connectivity, IP phone handsets and business communication features into one service, essentially eliminating the need for companies to own on-site PBX equipment.

Even in a time of economic uncertainty, Telesphere continues to invest extensively in its own telecommunications infrastructure. The company has grown throughout the country because of its innovative hosted platform that allows businesses to enjoy the very latest in voice and data services in a cost-efficient manner.

“As one of the most technologically advanced locations in the United States, we believe Salt Lake City is primed to receive this ground-breaking business telecommunication technology,” said Clark Peterson, CEO of Telesphere. “It is simply a smarter way for Utah businesses to receive their telephone and Internet services, and we are excited to open up our network and functionality to businesses along the Wasatch Front.”

To celebrate the launch of Telesphere in Salt Lake City, the company hosted a business event at the Depot on October 14^th, where it donated $20,000 in cash sponsorships and telecommunication services to Discovery Gateway children’s museum.

“As we strive to ‘inspire children of all ages to imagine, discover, and connect with their world,’ Telesphere is providing us with the opportunity to be connected with our world,” said Maria Farrington, Executive Director at Discovery Gateway. “The generosity of Telesphere is helping us to bring 21^st century technology to the families of Utah. We are very appreciative of Telesphere’s support.”

Telesphere’s features, functionality and reliability are unmatched by traditional telephone services, and are attractive to service agencies and businesses alike. Business customers can use state-of-the-art telephone services that integrate their office phone with their computer and cell phone, including:

• Simultaneous cell phone ring
• Web click-to-dial
• Visual voice mail to email and fax to email
• Transparent handoff between office and cell phone

Telesphere offers these advanced hardware and service features to customers often at less than what they are currently investing for traditional voice and data services.

Telesphere is led locally by Salt Lake resident Matt Reed, who, as general manager, oversees the local operations, including sales, customer service and technical support. He has hired staff locally to manage and offer personal support to all Salt Lake City-based clients.

“There has never been a better time for businesses to transition their telecommunications infrastructure to a hosted platform,” said Reed, Telesphere General Manager in Salt Lake City. “With our advanced business class features and IP connectivity, we’ve been able help companies and individuals reach beyond the limits of previous business technology. We are helping businesses improve their productivity, while significantly cutting their upfront costs and ongoing operational expenses.”

The company currently provides its service to customers in 44 states, including Utah. The Utah office will be located at 53^rd South and I-15.
