Knology Launches iPlex Delivering Advanced Business Communications Technology
WEST POINT, Ga.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Knology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KNOL), a leading provider of telecommunications products and services, is bringing new communication technology to its southeastern U.S. markets to give businesses a distinct competitive advantage in these difficult economic times. Knology is in the midst of a nine-city, five-state iPlex launch tour to introduce iPlex – Knology's newest communications service that delivers boundless phone and data capacity.
"These Knology markets will be among the first in secondary and tertiary markets to have iPlex technology available for their business customers," Ron Johnson, Vice President of Business Sales for Knology said. "Small- and medium-size businesses have told us they need a flexible, manageable and cost-effective telecommunications solution that gives them complete control over their business communications. iPlex delivers on those needs, and we believe this proven technology positions Knology for continued success in growing our small- and medium-size business revenues."
The Power of iPlex
iPlex leverages powerful fiber optic capacity to deliver voice and data services to small- and medium-sized businesses. It is the only managed, fiber-based solution that unleashes the incredible potential of an IP-PBX system through one single Ethernet connection. Other benefits include:
- Advanced ability to quickly and easily integrate a network through a seamless fiber connection.
- Relief of T-1 capacity issues – the iPlex fiber connection has boundless "trunks" or communications paths that provide outstanding clarity and capacity.
- Direct Inward Dial (person-to-person within a company) through a single connection.
- Users can easily add or remove voice capacity as needed. For example: A company hiring temporary call center staff for seasonal needs can quickly increase capacity and then reduce it afterwards.
- Customers pay only for the capacity used.
- Knology owns, manages, protects and keeps its network running, 24/7/365, ensuring customer satisfaction.
- iPlex is part of Knology's "Plexus" suite of communications services, allowing customers the flexibility to grow with one provider.
In summary, iPlex reduces the total cost of ownership while improving technical efficiency. Both data and voice communications are carried on one fiber optic line, merging voice and data services into one. iPlex delivers on the promise of one provider, one bill and one fiber connection for all communications needs.
"Imagine the innovation now possible for a medical practice, for example, that is using its telecom lines to transmit data for electronic medical records, electronic bill processing as well as incoming and outgoing phone calls," Johnson said. "With iPlex they end up with one easy-to-handle fiber optic service that can scale up or down based on demand."
