Posted on 09. Oct, 2001 by NetworkIP in Press Release
NetworkIP, an industry-leading e.Application and Access Exchange provider of voice and data services, will showcase the company’s wide variety of converged communications solutions during ISPCON, October 9-11 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A key feature in all of NetworkIP’s products is that the distributor can incorporate any combination of NetworkIP services on the same card, allowing the end-user to operate with only one PIN.
“NetworkIP is the first service provider to offer this unique prepaid solution,” said Pete Pattullo, president and CEO of NetworkIP. “Multiple products on the same PIN mean greater profit per user for our customers.”
Among the services NetworkIP plans to highlight during ISPCON are e.Prepaid Internet, Duo-Cash enabled cards, e.Cable and e.Conferencing.
NetworkIP Prepaid Internet Access Solution
e.Prepaid Internet is an e-mail capable, dial-up Internet service sold by distributors through retail supply channels, similar to a prepaid phone card. The product allows the distributor to add a prepaid Internet product, critical to their portfolio, with no additional back office or capital investment.
This product allows users to pay as they use the service as opposed to traditional Internet services, which charge monthly fees even if the subscriber does not use the service.
NetworkIP has partnered with a tier-one carrier to provide a nationwide infrastructure for prepaid dial-up Internet access using the fastest, most robust backbone in the industry. Local-dialed e.Prepaid Internet access covers 90 percent of the U.S. population. Toll-free access is also available to ensure the remaining 10 percent of users have access to a clean, fast connection. The product is sold as a re-usable mini CD-ROM to allow ultra-fast, easy loading of the product and key programs.
DuoCash-Enabled Cards Allow Access to the Digital Content Marketplace
NetworkIP is a strategic partner with DuoCash, the world’s first payment processing and clearing network to enable Internet purchases using calling cards.
This partnership enables NetworkIP customers to issue multi-use stored value calling cards which can be used for Internet purchases, as well as to make phone calls.
NetworkIP’s customers benefit by increasing sales and access to new markets. DuoCash increases use on the cards and allows the distributor to sell more and higher-value cards. In addition, since multi-use cards appeal to users outside of the existing prepaid calling card markets, DuoCash also extends the market for calling cards to those who might not otherwise have purchased a prepaid calling card.
e.Cable Offers High-Speed Broadband Solution for Cable Operators
e.Cable is a broadband cable modem solution that allows cable operators to provide privately branded, self-provisioned, high-speed Internet and data services to their subscribers via a DOCSIS-compliant infrastructure, with absolutely no back office investment.
e.Cable provides the subscriber quick and easy self-installation of high-speed Internet service and the ability to manage their own service accounts online. NetworkIP’s real-time, Web-based e.Services Network (e.SN) control system provides to the cable operator a paperless, prepaid environment including back office requirements such as provisioning, billing, technical support, reporting and service control. e.Cable will also allow cable providers to offer email accounts, Web Hosting accounts and varying service levels for Internet access.
NetworkIP’s broadband offering allows the cable operator to deliver self-provisioning to subscribers without separate software installation. The solution reduces costs for the cable provider by virtually eliminating truck rolls and drastically reducing the man-hours required for customer service.
NetworkIP Dynamic Stored Value Audio Conferencing Product
NetworkIP introduces the latest addition to the company’s rapidly expanding portfolio: e.Conferencing. The e.Conferencing product is a fully automated, customer managed, PSTN based, audio conferencing service, via a Web-based interface. A real-time Web interface allows the “Moderator” to sanction and participate in their own conference calls without ever having to speak with a coordinator or reservations agent. The user can monitor account activity and add time to the account without having to hang-up or speak to a service representative. The e.Conferencing service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no restrictions.
NetworkIP brings innovative new features, robust capacity and market leadership to the conferencing market. Consumer demand for the e.Conferencing solution has been brisk, given its exceptional price and performance advantages.
With e.Conferencing, NetworkIP has created a dynamic on-demand business solution that allows consumers to access a commitment-free, cost-effective method of audio conferencing.
