GLOBALINX is Accepted into the Cloud Communications Alliance

Rochester, NY (April 27, 2011) – Voice and data provider GLOBALINX was recently accepted as a member into the Cloud Communications Alliance.

This exclusive group, made up of BroadWorks-based companies, was created last year by industry leaders with the idea to promote the development of the Cloud Communications category. Since then the Alliance has been pursuing new technical standards, capabilities and applications. Alliance membership is by invitation only.

"We are very excited to be a part of this unique, innovative group," said GLOBALINX Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Michael Machonkin. "We look forward to sharing best practices and brainstorming new applications and, hopefully, we can bring some ideas to the table to benefit everyone."

GLOBALINX is the tenth company to be inducted into the Cloud Communications Alliance which meets once every quarter to discuss industry trends and the future of Cloud Communications.

Channel Partner's Q&A with GLOBALINX Channel Chief Ron Ireland

Now that reseller TMC Communications has joined forces with VoIP services provider GLOBALINX Enterprises LLC, agents may wonder what’s in store. Ron Ireland, who served as president of TMC, now runs the GLOBALINX channel. Ireland joined TMC as controller in 1998, shortly after it was founded. He later became CFO and took on the presidency and oversight of the agent channel when TMC founder John Marsch passed away in 2006. Channel Partners interviewed Ireland about his new role, about the deal’s impact on partners and his plans for the program.

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.
