Momentum Rolls Out Complete Digital Voice Solution for SMBs

Momentum, a provider of private-label digital voice service to operators throughout the United States, announced at The Cable Show a new line of business digital voice products with advanced packaged feature sets. The new business suite is targeted toward regional cable operators and municipalities that are focused on serving small to midsize businesses (SMBs).

The advanced digital voice products will allow cable operators to offer up to 12  lines of integrated access and hosted IP PBX services. Some of the key features include:
• Music on hold
• Auto-attendant
• 8xx remote retrieve voicemail
• Standalone extensions as seats
• Call pickup
• Voicemail to email
• Multiple hunt groups
• Call logs

This new suite of business products is built on a BroadSoft platform and can either work with a customer’s existing PBX/key system or use the IP PBX product with Polycom or existing phones. The service includes an easy-to-use feature console that allows operators, office administrators and end-users to quickly adjust the enhanced feature settings as needed.

"Recent research by Yankee Group has shown that cost savings in the SMB market for IP adoption continues to be the main driver," stated Gary Chen, Senior Analyst at Yankee Group, referring to the Yankee Group Anywhere Enterprise – Small and Medium: 2007 US IP Communications Survey, "not to mention that 58 percent of small businesses and 64 percent of medium businesses indicate that they would prefer to buy data and voice solutions from the same vendor."

"Tier 2 and Tier 3 cable operators and municipalities have a huge demand for this type of advanced business product in the small business space. This product is perfect for those smaller businesses that want enhanced phone service, but until now couldn’t justify the expense," said Alan Creighton, president and CEO of Momentum. "Our solution is flexible, simple and gives operators the ability to offer small businesses the same functionality that larger companies have long enjoyed."
