Windstream has won an INTERNET TELEPHONY Unified Communications Excellence Award, presented by TMC.
Windstream, which serves more than 450,000 business customers nationwide, provides businesses with a variety of UC solutions, from VoIP to communications equipment and managed services.
Windstream was awarded the 2012 Unified Communications Excellence Award for its ability to provide customized unified communications solutions for its business customers. Specifically, Windstream designed a customized, fully managed UC solution for Pratt Industries – the fifth largest box manufacturer in the U.S. – that allowed the company to connect and centralize communications among their 72 locations nationwide.
The offering includes Windstream’s Dynamic IP VoIP solution with SIP trunking capability. It was built upon the Mitel 3300 IP Communications Platform (ICP), which is housed in one of Windstream’s data centers and utilizes Windstream’s MPLS network to connect Pratt’s geographically and functionally diverse locations. The Mitel 3300 ICP provides enterprise IP PBX capability plus a range of embedded applications including standard unified messaging, auto-attendant, ACD and wireless gateway.
