GLOBALINX Purchases TMC for 'Robust' Agent Channel

VoIP services provider GLOBALINX Enterprises announced Tuesday it will shore up its agent channel with the pending acquisition of fellow carrier TMC Communications. Financial terms were not disclosed; both companies are privately held.

The two companies aim to close the transaction in 60-90 days. When that happens, GLOBALINX will become an IXC in 50 states and a CLEC in about six, said Mike Machonkin, GLOBALINX’s vice president of sales and marketing.

GLOBALINX has wanted to do M&A “for some time,” said Machonkin, and the opportunity with TMC was the first “that seemed to be a good fit.”

“The biggest thing is that they have a pretty well-defined agent channel – we have a very small agent channel, so this gives us a robust distribution channel that we didn’t have,” Machonkin said.

But GLOBALINX, which sells to residential subscribers as well as small businesses, also brings assets to TMC. For example, TMC tends to focus on TDM-based services, such as local PRI and 800-number setup. TMC does offer some IP products, but GLOBALINX is all-IP, which means agents will have access to more SIP trunking options as well as products such as hosted PBX. “We bring VoIP to their piece of the puzzle,” said Machonkin.
