PlanetOne Communications has added Internet and managed services provider Telnes Broadband to its supplier portfolio.
PlanetOne’s partners will have access to the entire Telnes product line, including MPLS managed networking, Ethernet over Copper (EoC), and hosted ShoreTel IP PBXs, along with Telnes’ LinkWatch proactive monitoring platform.
“Bringing Telnes into the PlanetOne portfolio of preferred vendors is something we’ve been looking forward to for quite some time,” said Lauren Shapiro, vice president of operations at PlanetOne. “Telnes makes pricing and provisioning a breeze–it’s the perfect formula for success.”
Telnes offers MPLS and data offerings to customers in all 50 states, and recently launched its first hosted PBX offering for enterprise customers with ShoreTel gear. In 2013, Telnes plans expansion into hosted services for SMBs, SIP trunking and cloud services–all of which will be available through PlanetOne.
“We couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership between Telnes and PlanetOne,” said Chris Shubert, director of channel sales for Telnes. “PlanetOne partners represent the best the channel has to offer and they demand the best. Telnes is ready to bring it, with a reputation built on fast, accurate installs and a commitment to our partner’s success. We will settle for nothing less than 100-percent satisfaction within the PlanetOne community.”
Telnes has been designated as a PlanetOne Preferred Vendor, and will be present at all of PlanetOne’s 2013 Telecom Tour events, which is kicking off in Denver on January 15.
“Telnes has always had a fantastic reputation in the industry,” said PlanetOne CEO Ted Schuman. “And when coupled with the upcoming expansion of their product lineup, now was the perfect time to form this partnership and give our agents access to yet another best-in-class provider.”
