Municipal Broadband Leader NextLight™ Upgrades VoIP With Alianza Cloud Voice Platform
October 29, 2018
Alianza delivers enhanced features, improved reliability and simplified
operations for Colorado’s first municipal ISP
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Cloud—Alianza
Inc., the cloud voice platform company, announced today that NextLightTM,
the community-owned fiber-optic network ISP from Longmont Power &
Communications, has selected Alianza for its next-generation VoIP
solution. With Alianza’s turnkey software-as-a-service solution,
NextLight is improving operations and its customers’ experience.
The City of Longmont launched NextLight as a municipal internet service
in 2014. The network has since transformed Longmont into Colorado’s
first Gig City, making symmetrical gigabit connections available
citywide, and becoming the high-speed provider of choice for a majority
of the city’s residents. In June, PC Magazine declared NextLight the
fastest ISP in the nation. The National Civic League also cited
NextLight as a factor when it named Longmont an All-America City in 2018.
NextLight is the latest ISP to migrate from a hosted softswitch solution
to a modern cloud solution. Alianza’s APIs, proven migration process,
and experienced team made for an easy upgrade. Alianza’s solution
supports NextLight’s existing phone services and provides a platform for
growth with new business cloud communication services. NextLight has
integrated the Cloud Voice Platform with GLDS’ BroadHub customer
management, billing and provisioning systems and Calix GigaCenters to
eliminate swivel chair processes, automate customer life-cycle
management and streamline operations.
“We are constantly innovating to deliver a better customer experience,”
commented NextLight’s Anne Lutz, Director of Customer Service. “Alianza
fits that mode and gives us a modern, agile, and easier to manage
solution so we can deliver the best phone service portfolio for our
customers, including expanded features.”
“NextLight is delivering a top-notch broadband portfolio for residents
and businesses of Longmont,” commented Kevin Dundon, Alianza’s Executive
Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Our partnership with Longmont
provides the ISP with feature-rich and future-proof cloud communications
services and creates a powerful service combination.”
