27/10/2011 - 360networks expands reach in Texas, adds coverage of 4.5M people in Houston LATA

Facilities-based wholesale provider 360networks, which earlier this month accepted a deal to be acquired by Zayo Group, has expanded its own IP Origination footprint, adding 48 rate centers in the Houston LATA. With the addition--which has a population coverage of some 4.5 million--360networks now provides wholesale VoIP services in six of the nation's 10 largest metropolitan areas, and 1606 rate centers covering a population base of over 80 million people across 17 states.

360networks offers a full suite of VoIP services that includes IP Origination, IP Termination, and Toll Free, with a variety of pricing models and features. The VoIP services leverage the company's 18,500 route mile fiber optic backbone to reduce costs and minimize third party dependencies.

It's been a busy year for the company. Besides being acquired, the company has been expanding its presence in Texas and, in July, launched 360connect, a new VoIP customer portal. It's also currently in beta trial for the 360connect Application Programming Interface (API).

"Extending our VoIP reach to include Houston, and other Texas markets, is an obvious extension for customers to use 360networks as their single source provider," said Nick Reifschneider, VoIP product director for 360networks.
