Why Level 3 Communications?
Level 3 Communications has been doing Voice over IP termination since 1999 and has grown to become one of the leaders in the VoIP market in terms of quality and service. As a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier), Level 3 must meet government standards as a local telephone company. This means three things for your voice traffic:
- Reliability – Like your local telephone company, Level 3 Communications must meet several criteria set by the federal government for companies who wish to interoperate with existing telephone companies. To meet these demands, Level 3 built their own MPLS-based international IP network across the United States and Europe. Multiple diverse fiber routes between cities ensure that a single failure "in the field" will not result in a network outage.
- Security – Designed to exceed government telephone company (telco) standards, Level 3's private network ensures that your data will arrive securely at its destination.
- Low Latency – Level 3's fully-upgradeable voice network has been designed to get your traffic from point A to point B as quickly as possible, regardless if point B is across the street or across the Atlantic.
When combined with our premium Ventrilo servers, you can expect crystal clear voice communication that exceeds voice quality on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
