Live Seminar on How Telecom Agents Can Profit from Selling Wavelength Services

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 26, 2007

PHONE+ magazine is announcing a new live Webinar, "Catch the Next Wave: How Agents Can Move Up-Market With Wavelength Services," to help telecom agents learn how they can profit by selling wavelength services. This live event will be presented at 2 p.m. on March 20, in concert with xchange magazine, AboveNet and Ciena Corp.

"Many agents only sell private line services at a DS3 level and they are missing a growing revenue stream from high-capacity wavelength services at 2.5gbps and 10gbps," says Khali Henderson, group editor for PHONE+.

Wavelength services take advantage of dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, which creates multiple "virtual fibers" on a single strand over a private, non-shared, optical network. Because it can carry different types of traffic, such as IP, Ethernet and Fibre Channel at different speeds, wavelength services can meet the need for increased network capacity for Internet, video, storage, multimedia and other bandwidth-intensive applications with low latency.

Plus, wavelengths are quick to provision, easy to scale and fully managed. With no fiber to build or local loop to provision, wavelengths offer predictable costs and are an economical solution for point-to-point connectivity requirements -- be they POP-to-POP, customer premise-to-POP or premise-to-premise -- now and into the future.

Agents can find out more about selling wavelength services in a free Webinar that will help them to:

• Assess the growing demand for bandwidth among enterprises

• Understand the technology and applications for wavelength services

• Identify hot prospects for high-capacity services

• Discover how to profit from selling wavelength services
