Telecoms and networking provider Bright Edge Networks has today announced the launch of a new UK wholesale telecoms platform, which has been designed to enable Managed Service Providers (MSP) and resellers to self-serve a variety of broadband and hosted VoIP solutions “with full margin control“.
Partners of the new service will be able to self-serve a wide suite of wholesale services including Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), SoGEA (FTTC), leased lines and hosted Voice-over-IP (VoIP) – backed by Bright Edge’s carrier relationships and operational support. Pricing is said to have been set at the “wholesale level, allowing resellers to define their own margins, while Bright Edge retains contractual responsibility with underlying carriers“.
Built with automation and reseller flexibility firmly in mind, some of Beacon’s other key features for resellers include real time postcode availability checks, automated ECC and pricing data, integrated number porting, semi-automated provisioning and consolidated billing. Support requests are also handled directly by Bright Edge, allowing partners to stay focused on sales and customer relationships.
Chris Byrd, CTO of Bright Edge Networks, said:
“Beacon has been built from the ground up with resellers in mind. We wanted a platform that removes friction from selling connectivity and voice, while still offering the robustness and performance businesses expect. From real time availability to streamlined provisioning and billing, Beacon gives partners the tools they need to operate efficiently and scale with confidence.”
