Gamma has launched Converged FTTC Ethernet, a new voice-enabled variant of its FTTC Ethernet product.
The move enables Gamma Partners to compete at the price sensitive end of the small business market by offering customers a more affordable solution, without compromising on quality.
"Ethernet is now the de facto high speed connectivity technology of choice for businesses and, as well as offering fast, reliable internet access, Gamma's proposition enables businesses to also adopt high-quality IP telephony in the form of SIP trunking or a hosted voice platform," said Ethernet Product Manager, George Kinsella.
"Partners will benefit from the flexibility, resilience and associated cost savings and can take full advantage of Gamma's voice pedigree and single, accountable supplier offering."
Kinsella also noted that the affordability and guaranteed fix time of Converged FTTC Ethernet plus Gamma's ability to run an end-to-end prioritised voice service will make it widely accessible to more businesses as a replacement for ISDN, as well as the soon to be retired SDSL.
"It's also the perfect upgrade for broadband customers because it offers them the chance to benefit from all the features of Ethernet, including an enhanced SLA, an 8-hour fix time and dedicated high-speed access for just a £2-3 daily incremental cost," he added.
Vicki Rishbeth, Operations Director of Focus Group, currently consumes Gamma's Converged Ethernet services and says, "Joined up delivery across the Ethernet and IP telephony components means we can confidently deliver service to our customers on time and with minimal impact to our operation."
Gamma is marking the launch of Converged FTTC Ethernet with a three month free install offer on all 36-month contracts ordered on or before May 30th.
