Flexion Adds High-Speed Broadband-on-Demand to Its Integrated Communication
Platform
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2000--
Small Businesses Receive Integrated Business Solutions Plus
Affordable, Managed Broadband Delivered Via Next
Generation Service Providers
SUPERCOMM 2000 - Flexion Systems, the leading provider of managed business
solutions for the growing company, today announced availability of ATM-
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) based broadband services for the Flexion
BusinessGuardian X300, making its feature-rich integrated communications
platform capable of delivering multiple high-bandwidth services on demand.
BusinessGuardian X300 users can get all of the communications platform's
standard capabilities--integrated voice, data and fax--plus reliable multi-
megabit DSL- (Digital Subscriber Line) ready broadband for voice and data. "On
demand" services are particularly cost efficient for the growing company
because users pay for the broadband and services only when they use them.
"By making it technically possible and economically feasible to deliver
broadband direct to small- and mid-sized business customers, we have created a
win-win situation," says Andrew Bale, president and chief executive officer of
Flexion Systems. "The customer benefits from greatly enhanced capabilities,
while next generation Service Providers have very powerful, integrated solution
to offer their end users without the prohibitive cost and other restrictions
typically associated with broadband."
"Packet-based broadband services address the needs of the emerging small
businesses market by offering more voice and data services at an affordable
cost," said Vince Rocca, chief technology officer for 2nd Century who has
successfully tested Flexion's product in their labs. "On-demand delivery via packet-based networks enables Service Providers like 2nd Century to integrate a
variety of cutting edge technologies in our network and provide our customers
with quality voice and data services over a broadband network."
News of the BusinessGuardian ATM-based broadband release was made in
conjunction with Flexion's announcement today at SUPERCOMM 2000 that it is
working with TeraBridge Technologies to deliver high-speed end-to-end broadband
services through next generation Service Providers [see related release].
Flexion's ATM interface, combined with TeraBridge's call- and connection-
control softswitch, creates a complete end-to-end architecture for providing
rich voice services without the cost and limitations of traditional Service
Provider networks.
