Channel-centric value-added services provider BCN Solutions Express is expanding its stable of DIA and MPLS solutions with the addition of UNSi as a technology partner. Channel partners will gain access to multiple Internet access methods to accommodate various budgets, speeds and geographic locations for customers, on one bill.
UNSi and BCN Solutions Express’ other partners, like Time Warner Cable, together create a portfolio that channel partners can leverage to design a tailored network for national, multi-location customers.
“UNSi has a data network with NNI capabilities that meshes 150+ carrier networks into one data service provider,” explained Tom McCrosson, president and CEO at BCN Solutions Express. “When you combine that with the breadth and depth of the solutions that we already have in the portfolio, our channel partners gain the unprecedented ability to bundle a solution across DSL, cable broadband, Ethernet over copper, carrier TDM or Metro Ethernet connections, in a tailored, redundant approach that really puts the ‘solution’ into the term ‘solution provider.’”
This “any-to-any” fleet of connectivity options supports an increased focus on SIP trunking and hosted, cloud-based applications as well. Customers can layer MPLS or VPN connectivity across various transport methods to create one, holistic architecture to support SIP and the move to all-IP, the company explained. In turn, this provides a foundation of connectivity for hosted applications.
“Our MPLS portfolio is nationwide and highly diversified,” said Mike McCrosson, BCN Solutions Express channel manager. “Our partners are looking to help their customers enable a wide variety of hosted business applications, high-bandwidth services like video conferencing and a host of unified communications services—and they are demanding a managed network approach that guarantees a quality of service for those mission-critical applications. We are always looking to better enable our partners to uncover fresh revenue, and our expanding business networking solution set is a crucial part of fulfilling that goal.”
