Voice over internet protocol (VOIP) is the future of voice in business and personal communications. Covad’s recent strategy to focus on business class VOIP services will help them to regain their market share and stand out from competition.
Unlike consumer-class VoIP products which require the customer to provide their own local access and do not control the quality of the broadband underlying their voice service, Covad's Voice Optimized Access (VOA) technology manages the quality of both voice and data services simultaneously. With Covad's VOA technology customers can conduct daily business activities such as multiple phone calls and accessing large data files concurrently, without compromising their voice quality.
Covad stands alone with the creation of the only managed, business-class VoIP service that's available nationwide. VOA also enhances the value of Covad’s facilities-based network and enables Covad to manage the voice quality. This strategic development demonstrates Covad's renewed commitment to creating solutions that provide small-to-medium businesses with competitively priced, innovative communications services.
