PITTSBURGH--(Business Wire)--
Black Box Network Services has announced a strategic business relationship with
CoreDial, LLC. The agreement allows Black Box Network Services to resell
CoreDial`s hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions to enterprise customers. 

"Our relationship with CoreDial enables us to offer our customers another
attractive option to the traditional method of purchasing communications
equipment," said Terry Blakemore, President and CEO of Black Box Network
Services. "It also allows us to provide cost-effective SIP trunking to our
legacy PBX customers, which can reduce their overall cost." 

Hosted VoIP solutions offer customers IP-enabled communications without the
costs, management and maintenance responsibilities of an on-premise VoIP
application. The Black Box Hosted VoIP solution by CoreDial delivers a full
suite of features including unified messaging, attendant, audio conferencing and
call center applications without having to purchase the physical system and pay
for ongoing upgrades or maintenance. Customers receive a monthly bill which
includes their local and domestic long distance usage in addition to the managed
service. The Black Box Hosted VoIP solution from CoreDial has inherent disaster
recovery capabilities since the equipment resides in a hardened data center that
is backed up in another data center. 

Mr. Blakemore continued, "Any purchasing model that can be treated as an
operating expense instead of a capital one is advantageous to many customers in
this economy. A hosted solution provides the features and functionality that our
customers need and enables them to realize significant internal benefits when
they outsource their voice requirements." 

"CoreDial is proud to have the opportunity to partner with a leading provider of
communications solutions such as Black Box Network Services," said Alan Rihm,
CoreDial CEO. "By leveraging our VoiceAxis software and carrier class network
infrastructure services, Black Box will be uniquely positioned to deliver high
quality, high value hosted PBX and VoIP services to their enterprise business
clients. This partnership combines Black Box's tremendous experience, resources
and customer relationships with CoreDial's proven software and services to
enable Black Box customers to immediately take advantage of the significant
benefits and timely cost savings of hosted VoIP services." 

Black Box Network Services plans to begin selling and servicing these hosted
VoIP applications immediately.
