Cloud Communications Alliance seeks first nationwide HD voice network

The Cloud Communications Alliance has been formed by hosted IP-comm companies Alteva, Broadcore, Callis Communications, Consolidated Technologies Inc., IPFone, SimpleSignal, Stage 2 Networks and Telesphere. They collectively serve more than 110,000 business customers in the United States. Bringing a common set of standards to all alliance partners to insure interoperability, the alliance uses each member’s individual networks and systems to create a seamless, nationwide HD voice network while providing a common customer support structure and remote field technicians.

The Alliance will jointly deliver services directly to customers, taking advantage of the nationwide coverage provided by its established, regionally owned and operated service provider membership and using a common software platform provided by Broadsoft.

“The Cloud Communications Alliance is not just about voice-over-IP, hosted PBX or unified communications. We’re introducing an entirely new way to build, deploy and scale enterprise communications systems that provide HD voice services along with a platform of advanced apps and features that allow businesses to work in ways they never imagined,” CCA member and Alteva CEO Bill Bumbernick said in a release.
