SKT Networks Inks Dash for Full Suite of Carrier Services

CLEC selects trusted industry team to expand its commercial voice services offering and footprint

 

MetaSwitch Forum 2009, Las Vegas, NV: April 8, 2009. Today from the MetaSwitch Forum in Las Vegas, Dash Carrier Services (www.dashcs.com), a leading provider of wholesale carrier voice solutions, announced that SKT netWorks is utilizing its full suite of products and services for its Business Voice offering. Specifically, SKTN is using dash911, dashinfo and dashconnect.

"Dash Carrier Services is a proven leader in telecommunications with a very strong reputation, which, coupled with its nationwide footprint and user-friendly provisioning dashboard, was a key factor in our decision to use their services. In addition, the Company's relationship with MetaSwitch facilitated a very smooth rollout," said SKT netWorks Owner, Ed Mikesell. "Since executing delivery in February 2009, Dash has delivered on every promise, and has helped us implement our plans for continued growth."

Dash's comprehensive, integrated portfolio includes dash911, E911 for VoIP, dashconnect, U.S. and Canadian origination and termination, and dashinfo, CNAM, 411, and nationwide directory listing services. Unlike competitive offerings, Dash rollouts are characterized by low upfront capital expenditures, and deliver exceptionally competitive rates. For example, dashconnect offers origination and termination with 100% geographic redundancy, real-time provisioning through an intuitive GUI. Dashinfo delivers the most accurate lVR and live operator directory assistance and white page listing, in addition to CNAM delivery and LIDB updates. Of particular note is dash911, which delivers 99% address acceptance, 24/7 staffed call center support, and is recognized as the industry's most reliable, FCC-compliant emergency services offering.

"We are very pleased to have Dash Carrier Services with us this year at the MetaSwitch Forum," said Andy Randall, vice president of marketing at MetaSwitch. "Bringing together customers and partners at one event provides an excellent opportunity to discuss new product announcements and ideas that can help build successful strategies for the year ahead."

Justin Nelson, Dash Carrier Services CEO, added, "At Dash, we place a very high level of importance on the integrity associated with our brand, which comes from years of delivering on promises, in addition to partnerships with very credible companies, such as MetaSwitch."

He continued, "Our success comes from not overextending our resources, as well as a keen understanding of what our customers want and need. We look forward to a long-term, successful relationship with SKT netWorks."
