Westford, Mass – Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global software leader in secure and intelligent cloud communications solutions, today announced that Peerless Network, a leading-edge provider of telecommunications services and a global disruptor in the telecom industry delivering high- quality voice solutions for enterprise customers worldwide, is leveraging Ribbon’s Cloud2Edge service for its new Cloud PBX offering. Cloud PBX is Peerless’ Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) offering that enables enterprises to easily manage telephone extensions, Direct Inward Dialing (DIDs), services, routing, configuration and inventory over a cloud-based IP network via one system with zero-touch provisioning and easy customization.

Peerless is leveraging Ribbon’s Cloud2Edge for its ability to offer Quality of Service (QoS) management capabilities via an end-to-end view, from Peerless’ network to the customer premises to IP endpoints. In addition, Peerless is leveraging Ribbon’s Cloud2Edge as a Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Gateway for improved voice and data transmission.
