One Communications is the largest privately-held competitive local exchange carrier
in the U.S. serving more than 160,000 businesses throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic
and Upper Midwest regions with more than 2,200 employees and $800 million in annual
revenue.
Formed through the merger of three prominent CLECs, One Communications was tasked
with integrating its formerly independent network architectures. After rigorous
testing and evaluation, it selected Metaswitch as its common platform for integrated
voice and data communications and has begun migrating existing customers from its
legacy switches, leveraging the Metaswitch Professional Services team to provide
a range of migration related services. The Metaswitch distributed softswitch platform
now supports a variety of standalone and converged voice and data solutions for
both its business and carrier customers. As a result of these efforts, One Communications
is poised to experience substantial switch center savings, a rapid ROI, and the
ability to more efficiently serve a growing array of converged voice and data services
to its customers.
