Gartner Positions Sprint as a Challenger in Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Sprint (NYS: S) has advanced to a Challenger position within the most recent Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers. Since the previously published Magic Quadrant report, Sprint has grown its global MPLS, Ethernet and SIP Trunking coverage for business and wholesale customers.

“Our sharp focus and investment on domestic and global MPLS footprint expansion and growing product portfolio has delighted both business and wholesale customers, and this, we believe, led to Gartner advancing Sprint from a Niche Player in last year’s report to a Challenger position in this year’s,” said Mike Fitz, vice president – wireline and solutions engineering, Sprint. “The Challenger position aligns with our mission to combine our unique insights into customer needs with a robust portfolio of managed network solutions to help companies leverage their network as a strategic differentiator. And with the increasing adoption of cloud services, the network is the most important investment a company can make to accelerate transformation and the speed of business.”

This magic quadrant report1 assesses suppliers that can deliver fixed enterprise networking services worldwide, including:

  • WAN services, predominantly managed, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and IPsec VPNs, and Ethernet services
  • Voice services, including switched and dedicated voice and SIP trunks
  • Dedicated Internet services, including managed VPN offers

With its forward-thinking design approach and innovation in IP and wireless technologies, Sprint is uniquely positioned to unleash the full potential of business-critical applications and workforces through a single account team who understands converged, cloud and mobility solutions.

Also according to the report, “The number of organizations requiring global networking services continues to grow, due to globalization and cloud services, which are often hosted in different markets from the point of consumption. Organizations’ appetite for more bandwidth shows no signs of diminishing, with video and big data, coupled with IT centralization, as the primary drivers. Reliability and performance control are growing in importance as business processes become ever more IT-dependent; in addition, IT architectures (such as thin client computing) place ever greater reliance on the network.”

If you feel brave enough to use a SIP client, you can also use this magic URI: sip:1580@sip.sdf.org. Examples of what calling sounds like using Twinkle are also provided in this episode.

Ubuntu Ohio – Burning Circle: Burning Circle Episode 107

Leave a comment

As to Burning Circle 106, we believe it was trapped in another dimension due to problems with an Oscillation Overthruster captured by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems. We apologize for any disruption this causes. Check with some guy named Lord John Whorfin

This week’s episode brings the result of our first Vox Pop call-in question. That question was: “Which flavor of Ubuntu do you favor and why?” Our question for the week ahead is: “Which do you rely on more? A long-term support release or the releases that come out every six months?”

To call in, you can use a normal telephone within our great Buckeye State and call 1-206-299-2120 and then enter extension 1580. If you feel brave enough to use a SIP client, you can also use this magic URI: sip:1580@sip.sdf.org. A selection of answers will be aired next week.

Other advantages of Broadvox SIP Trunking service include: business continuity options; security configuration to prevent fraud; open policies on IP-PBX interoperability; and network-based redundancy for maximum availability.

“Our robust SIP Trunking service provides unique features that improve system flexibility, control costs, and truly leverage our customer’s IP-PBX investment,” said Arnaud Gautier, EVP Product and Customer Experience at Broadvox. “We continue to work with our customers and partners to develop and deliver the most robust and flexible SIP Trunking service in the market, with options that make great business sense.”

In addition to Call Bursting, Broadvox has recently launched a 30-Day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and a SIP demonstrator program that gives customers the opportunity to validate the Broadvox SIP Trunking service for their own use for free.

SFLPhone KDE now have a macro subsystem

Macro subsystem

In a world where some people still communicate with each other using some sort of sounds, they will be happy to learn that SFLPhone KDE now have an awesome new feature: Macros. Does it free you from your daily conversations where you always end up saying that something being asked today can’t be ready by… yesterday? Not really, but that would be nice. What it does allow you to do is create a set of key sequences that can be called using keyboard shortcuts, toolbars and other accessibility methods. This may solve a few corner cases previously not very well handled. Here is a little summary of a few common use cases:

  • Corporate SIP client where you have to press a key or a code to call the outside world
  • Listening to voicemails without having to enter the password manually
  • Clearing all voicemails
  • Bypass custumer services robot-menus with a pre-programmed sequences (or a ton of “0” to try to talk to a human if they still have some real customer support )
  • Call your most common contacts
  • Enable or disable some phone features accessible only a special key sequence, like do not disturb or record a new missed call voicemail message.

Here are the obligatory screenshots:

This earth shaking awesome new feature is now available in the Git master of SFLPhone KDE along with a new bugfixes and features:

  • There is a now a way to configure a SIP proxy
  • The “Display” config options are now saved correctly again

SFLPhone KDE 1.2.2 also have been released shortly after 1.2.1 to fix a serious bug with IAX calls and include translations. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks all translators for their work.
