Summary of BandTel Advantages

Here’s a quick Summary of some of the benefits using BandTel VoIP SIP Trunking on the Cogent IP network:

1. BandTel Offers Pure SIP Trunking - SIP Trunking offers literally all the benefits of an ISDN T1 Trunk, but with none of the high price or circuit geographical limitations.
2. BandTel’s SIP Product are Designed for PBXs - Irregardless of whether you have an analog, digital PCM, or IP PBX, BandTel’s product are designed to work seamlessly with all of them.
3. BandTel Offers QoS on Your Bandwidth - Using your current Cogent IP connection BandTel can offer you full Quality of Services solution (QOS) for your voice services via BandTel’s VectorX™ product.
   
   A QoS solution is mandatory for VoIP, else your telephone voice quality will be sub-par, and in many cases unusable when merging cooperate bulk data and VoIP over the same IP pipe.
   
   VectorX is designed to stay outside your corporate firewall, and behave in a totally passive manner to the rest of your IT infrastructure. “So you won’t know its there”, and your voice and enterprise date will flow seamlessly.
4. Global Number Portability - With VoIP and SIP you are freed from what is called the “local PSTN rate center". That translates to BandTel being able to offer for you DID telephone numbers from almost any location in the country. International DIDs are even available.
   
   For business users this can offer significant savings and conveniences that simply are impossible to implement with standard telephone of CLEC cable companies.
5. Tax Cost Savings - BandTel is not a registered CLEC, and so is not burdened with many of the taxations that your local telephone or CLEC cable company is. A significantly lower tax charge to you is the end result. BandTel has avoided entering into CLEC construct as it’s a legacy model that hinders the offering of modern telephony services to our customers.
6. MRC Cost Savings - BandTel's fixed trunking costs are about half that of the fixed service costs from your local telephone or CLEC cable company.
7. NRC Cost Savings - BandTel will be a fraction of the cost for intrastate and interstate calls when compared to your local ILEC or CLEC, as we are able to totally bypass “Ma-Bell”, and pass along those saving to you direct.
8. International Calling - Again, your local phone or cable company for the most part is simply backhauling your traffic to a local incumbent telephone company. That will result in international rates being expensive and un-competitive at best.
   
   But with BandTel international rates will be a fraction of the cost. We contract outside the local jurisdiction to get best of breed international carriers, and then pass those savings on to you.
