Wholesale VoIP carrier Broadvox recently launched Broadvox-Powered resale and private-label VoIP programs for CLECs, ISPs, cablecos and UNE-P resellers. Both programs are available in about 3,000 rate centers in the United States and Canada, and are supported by Broadvox’s softswitch network.
The Broadvox Private-Label Program is a turnkey platform that allows consumer- and SOHO-focused providers entry into VoIP services with little back-office expense, says Gerry DeHaven, president of channel sales for the company. “It uses our front end and back end, and we bill it under their name,” he says.
For resellers wanting to use their own broadband or pair the VoIP service with TDM-based offers, Broadvox offers a more traditional resale program wherein the reseller provides the back-office functions, he says. The Broadvox Reseller Program supports both consumer and enterprise VoIP services, and provides resellers with a choice of softswitch licenses – one for basic features typical of a consumer deployment and one for enhanced features required for commercial accounts. The service also offers an a la carte suite of options, including an end-user and administration portal, local number bundles, domestic and international transport, and multiple business class options.
The company reports already signing 12 carriers and resellers, and expects to execute agreements with an additional 40 service providers during the first quarter of 2005.
