* Qwest’s IP Centrex service
Qwest this week rolled out an IP Centrex service designed to help enterprise firms migrate from traditional Centrex and PBX services.
Called IP Centrex Prime, the service retains traditional Centrex features, such as call forwarding, call waiting, and three-way calling. It also supports more sophisticated telephony applications used to monitor a company’s multiple telephone numbers, Qwest says.
Customers that migrate from traditional Centrex and PBX services benefit from reduced equipment costs and simplified management of moving and adding phone services, the carrier claims.
IP Centrex Prime is the second business VoIP service unveiled by Qwest. Earlier this year, the carrier launched its national VoIP service for business customers, Qwest OneFlex.
Qwest says it currently carries 1.8 billion minutes of VoIP traffic per month over its national IP network.
IP Centrex Prime is available to large business customers in Qwest’s 14-state region. The carrier did not provide pricing for the service.
