CommPartners provides carrier services and wholesale IP voice services such as hosted IP PBX, IP Trunking, hosted contact center and CommPartners Connect for Linksys One including support for Local Number Portability (LNP), directory services, E-911, and domestic and international long distance backed by a proprietary Operations Support System providing real time billing and provisioning.

"Because of the strong demand for today's leading IP voice services, CommPartners requires an IP backbone that enables them to scale their network without sacrificing voice quality and reliability. In addition, the Company requires a strong foundation to roll out and support enhanced new features and applications that help customers better manage their voice service," said Hassan Ahmed, chairman and CEO, Sonus Networks. "We're pleased that CommPartners, who share a similar focus on superior customer service, has selected Sonus as the foundation of their IP voice network."
