IntelePeer SIP Trunking Earns Shoretel Validation for Unified Communications Systems; Joins Shoretel Innovation Network

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 8, 2013) - IntelePeer, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand, cloud-based communications, today announced that IntelePeer CoreCloud SIP trunking services have been validated for interoperability with ShoreTel's unified communications (UC) systems.

Along with earning the validation, IntelePeer is joining the ShoreTel Innovation Network to provide premium-quality SIP trunking connections for ShoreTel channel partners, distributors and business customers. IntelePeer CoreCloud SIP trunking services enable these organizations to rapidly deploy SIP trunking connections over existing Internet connections or through a dedicated connection backed by IntelePeer's expert technical support team. In addition, IntelePeer offers attractive UC communications bundles that provide flexible, cost-effective terms and packages that adapt to businesses' operational needs and budgets.

Leveraging its cloud-based peering and federation platform, IntelePeer's SIP trunking services provide seamless connectivity between legacy and next-generation solutions to offer rich multi-modal communication features, such as HD audio and video that legacy services cannot support. Additionally, IntelePeer SIP trunking provides industry-leading encryption for commercial deployments, giving enterprises the confidence to embrace a cloud-based communications solution. IntelePeer SIP trunking services can be quickly deployed -- in as little as one week -- to accelerate time to value for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and UC deployments.

"We recently turned up IntelePeer SIP on our ShoreTel system," said Brian Meredith, CTO, SOFTCOM Internet Communications, Inc. "The service works beautifully, and I have nothing but good things to say about the IntelePeer support team."

"We recently joined the IntelePeer Partner Program and decided to implement the SIP solution for our in-house system," said Scott Sego, president of BD Managed Services, a ShoreTel value-added reseller partner located in Indianapolis. "Not only was it a fast time to turn-up, it has been a very seamless transaction. During the cut-over to our new SIP service, we were very pleased with the knowledge and willingness to help with everyone we encountered at IntelePeer."
