TalkSwitch® and Bandwidth.com Offer Small Business Great Communications Flexibility and Value

OTTAWA, ON & SAN JOSE, CA – Spring VON.x – March 18, 2008 – TalkSwitch®, the leader in the design and manufacture of innovative phone systems for small and multi-location businesses, and Bandwidth.com, a leading nationwide provider of complete business communications solutions, today announced full interoperability between TalkSwitch IP PBXs and the Bandwidth.com network, a development that will offer tremendous benefits for small businesses across the U.S.

The benefit comes from connecting a TalkSwitch system, which provides them with all the call handling and routing features a business needs, with affordable, high-quality voice and data services from Bandwidth.com. Users consolidate voice and data over a dedicated Internet Access Circuit, which maximizes the return on investment on that circuit.

Businesses reduce costs, gain access to enhanced network services, and simplify operations by reducing the number of providers they deal with. And because TalkSwitch systems are true hybrids, small business customers can retain connections to the traditional telephone network without requiring any additional equipment.

“Small businesses want solutions that are easy to use, easy to integrate and easy to manage,” said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. “That’s what’s brilliant about a solution featuring TalkSwitch and Bandwidth.com. It’s reliable, affordable, powerful and above all, it’s very owner-friendly™.”

“As a Bandwidth.com SIP IP PBX certified partner, TalkSwitch has exceeded the stringent requirements we place on equipment connecting to our network,” said Sean Rivers, Director of Engineering, Partner Services at Bandwidth.com. “They are dedicated to addressing the unique needs of the small business, and have proven products that fit that market. We think that coupling those products with the great calling plans and programs from Bandwidth.com is a perfect solution.”

TalkSwitch systems are ideal for companies with up to 64 telephone users per location, and combine the best capabilities of PBX, IP PBX and key phone systems at unbeatable value. The company has been developing systems exclusively for the small business market for nearly two decades, a legacy of success that no competitor can match.

TalkSwitch was recently recognized by the readers of Small Business Computing Magazine as “the absolute best VoIP system for small businesses” in the annual Excellence in Technology Awards, and has been awarded a prestigious VON Innovator Award, given to the companies with the most influence on the future of the IP communications industry. TalkSwitch is one of only 65 companies worldwide to be recognized as a VON Innovator.
