VoIPstreet, VoIP Innovations Create "All-in-One VoIP Provider"
March 15, 2010

As VoIP technology continues to emerge as ‘the threat’ to traditional telecommunications services, telcos are raising concerns over losing their grips on traditional services, and the industry is abuzz with new partnerships and innovations.
Industry partnerships enable companies to strengthen their presence in the market while offering new growth opportunities to partners.
In a recent move, two Pittsburgh-based VoIP providers, VoIPstreet and VoIP Innovations, announced today a partnership that, according to company officials will, “create an all-in-one VoIP solutions provider that offers both retail and wholesale VoIP services and boasts one of the nation's largest networks.”
VoIP Innovations (News - Alert), a wholesale VoIP provider with more than 20 years in the industry, offers U.S. and toll-free inbound calling and U.S. and International outbound to VoIP service providers.
A subsidiary of ABG Capital, VoIP Innovations boasts one of the largest nationwide networks in the industry. The service features a robust, fully redundant network that swells to more than 7,500 rate centers across the contiguous U.S.
VoIPstreet, with more than 10 years experience in the retail VoIP market, offers cost-reducing Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) or “SIP” Trunking and metered VoIP solutions for businesses of all sizes.
Under the new partnership, VoIPstreet offers its retail services under the VoIP Innovations moniker. The company, however, will keep its name on the group's retail solutions due to a well-established presence and track record within the industry, but will officially be under the VoIP Innovations umbrella, company officials announced.
“We think this move makes a lot of sense for both companies,” VoIP Innovations product manager and former VoIPstreet president Jason Tapolci, said. “We get to leverage the unique brands, service offerings and infrastructure to create a one of a kind world-class network. We really feel like this is an excellent opportunity for both businesses.”
At this year’s ITEXPO in Miami, VoIP Innovations announced two new solutions for providing incoming caller ID information for calls. This service can be used for VoIP Innovations originated numbers, as well as a standalone service for numbers terminated with other providers.

Wholesale VoIP Whitepapers
- The Advantages of Using SIP Trunks over a PRI from the Phone Company: A Primary Rate Interface (PRI) is the basic connection used by phone companies that allow multiple voice and data paths to share a common circuit. The PRI consists of 23 B channels, which carry voice and data, and 1 D channel, which carries signaling data for the other 23 channels. This ratio is fixed and channels must be added in multiples of 23 should you need to add more. Each PRI requires data communication hardware on either end.
- VoIP and Business Continuity: An organization's communication system is the most important aspect of any business continuity plan. Without an effective method for people to communicate with one other, all other activities become moot.
- What is a SIP trunk?: A SIP trunk is a data connection that utilizes Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) and carries voice over IP (VoIP) traffic. The SIP trunk defines the connection between two voice switches and can carry multiple VoIP calls simultaneously. The trunk is then divided into logical pathways, called channels. Each channel carries one voice conversation.
