By deploying ISDN based PBXs at their client sites they inter-connected to the PSTN network over SS7 (using Squire Technologies’ SVI 9225 SS7 to ISDN Protocol Converter) enabling their clients to make national, international and inter-PBX calls.
“What was important to us was to convert our SS7 protocols to ISDN at an affordable price allowing us to provide our clients with the low cost call benefits, but also to insure that the end-to-end digital service included seamless integration between networks of digital services like Caller Identification and Call Forwarding,” said Joe Kimani, CEO of Flashcom. “The Squire Technologies SVI 9225 product allowed us to deliver all these benefits and coupled with their support services allowed us to smoothly integrate this product into our network.”
