OneFlex Managed IP Communications

Description

OneFlex Managed IP Communications is a managed customer premises equipment (CPE)-based VoIP solution with multiple service options. It offers a highly customized solution that unifies your network into a converged platform to support voice, video and data. Through a fully-bundled IP telephony service that includes a convergence readiness assessment, OneFlex Managed IP Communications provides the hardware, software, license, installation, maintenance and 24/7 application management and monitoring you will need.
