Hosted IP Telephony provider Hipcom announce that they have formed a
strategic partnership with Griffin Internet, the UK's leading supplier
of Managed Broadband. Channel Manager Tim Alexander stated: "Griffin is
already the ISP of choice in the voice reseller market because they
operate a low-latency, voice-ready network and can set a reseller up as a
broadband ISP in under five days. By connecting Hipcom's network
directly with Griffin our resellers can avoid the public internet
altogether, giving them more control over quality of service and the
ability to prioritise voice. To support our rapidly-developing reseller
channel, we are forming strategic relationships with major service
providers in the UK and Europe and we are very enthusiastic about this
most recent partnership with Griffin Internet, which will allow our
partners even greater flexibility when it comes to choosing the right
connectivity provider to supporting the Hipcom hosted voice
proposition."
Griffin Internet CTO Adrian Sunderland commented: "Griffin is
channel-only and to avoid conflict with its partners, deliberately does
not offer its own IP Centrex service. However we are delighted to be
able to work with Hipcom to provide even better voice-grade broadband to
our mutual customers."
