Avantel Builds With Patton VOIP

GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- Patton -- the leader in network- access, connectivity, and VoIP solutions -- announces that Avantel Mexico is rapidly rolling out their NetVoice(TM) VoIP service featuring Patton VoIP gear.

"Avantel is leading the VoIP race," said Burton A. Patton, Executive Vice President, "with nearly 50,000 Patton VoIP ports deployed. Other carriers selected over-priced or under-performing VoIP gear, and suffered false-starts or failed business models as a result. By choosing Patton, Avantel has avoided those critical mistakes."

"Avantel's customers love the low price and advanced calling features of NetVoice," said Armando Morillo, Patton's Sales Director for Latin America. "The remarkably high voice quality also plays a big role in ensuring a good user experience."

Patton's low-cost VoIP router delivers affordable, high-quality, converged voice-and-data services with such advanced calling features as conditional- call-forwarding, 3-way-calling, call-blocking, call-waiting and speed-dialing -- bundled with robust Internet access. The SmartLink(TM) router's touchless, automatic provisioning and configuration over a provider network enable Avantel to reduce operating costs while increasing VoIP subscriptions.
