Fall is upon us at last, and so we close out the week with some technology headlines for this final week of September. Let’s look at what happened in unified communications.

Alpheus Communications partnered with Telesphere (News - Alert) to give Telesphere a boost in the delivery of voice, data and video.


According to the report, Alpheus was tapped by Telesphere for its fiber network, which has its presence in more than 94,000 Ethernet-qualified locations. Since Telesphere offers services to a number of companies in the country, this is a very useful service for the company.

“We're pleased to partner with Telesphere and help them quickly broaden access to Texas with our high-quality network and the numerous data centers and central offices that offer a very robust and diverse network footprint," said Alpheus CEO Scott Widham. "Alpheus offers the ideal platform for businesses looking to switch to Ethernet for higher speeds, greater reliability and cost-effective bandwidth. We believe that the migration from TDM to Ethernet is an emerging trend, one that is poised for explosive growth in the months ahead.”
