TelePacific Communications to Trial Flexion Systems' New ConvergenceLoop
Technology
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2000--
California-Based ICP Utilizes Flexion's New Technology to Give Small
Businesses Affordable Fortune 500 Style Converged Voice and Data
Solutions
Flexion Systems and TelePacific Communications today announced that they are
working together to trial Flexion's ConvergenceLoop(TM) technology.
Flexion's unique ConvergenceLoop technology enables Competitive Local
Exchange Carriers (CLECs) like TelePacific to deliver affordable voice and data
solutions on one T1 line, eliminating the need for small businesses to lease
one line for voice and a second for data.
News of the field trials was made in conjunction with Flexion's announcement
today at NetWorld+Interop that it is adding ConvergenceLoop technology to the
Flexion BusinessGuardian(TM) X300, a one-stop communication and IT solution for
growing companies.
"TelePacific has an excellent reputation for bringing high-caliber, cost-
effective integrated communications solutions to its customers," said Andrew
Bale, president and chief executive officer of Flexion Systems. "Its decision
to utilize Flexion's ConvergenceLoop technology is an extremely effective way
to demonstrate the benefits of our technology to the growing TelePacific
customer base."
Added David Glickman, chairman and chief executive officer of TelePacific:
"Flexion's ConvergenceLoop technology is a clever way to give small businesses
just what they need without paying for extra bandwidth. TelePacific built its
strategy on meeting the needs of small-to-medium sized businesses, enabling them to have access to feature-rich, leading-edge communication solutions at a
fraction of the cost of what their corporate counterparts are paying. Flexion's
ConvergenceLoop technology is another way of delivering high value at low
cost."
Utilizing ConvergenceLoop technology and its own network of Flexion
BusinessGuardian Authorized Resellers, Flexion's strategy is to bridge the
divide between small businesses and Service Providers and CLECs such as
TelePacific.
