WorldCom announces bundled frame-relay offerings

WorldCom today announced two new frame-relay offerings geared toward business customers that combine the processes needed for implementation and ultimately save cash.

Designed to make the purchase and implementation process easy, the WorldCom Bundled Frame Relay and WorldCom Economy Frame Relay are designed to lure businesses to use a WAN solution that’s secure, efficient and scaleable.

“We’re simplifying and changing the pricing model and removing barriers of complexity and cost that prohibited businesses from using frame relay in the past,” said Meg Moschetto, senior manager for product marketing at WorldCom.

Moschetto said these services can save businesses as much as 30%.

The WorldCom Bundled Frame Relay Service is geared toward small and medium-sized customers that want to expand, add new applications or connect decentralized locations, and combines service and customer hardware. Features include, one or two year contracts; unlimited PVCs; bandwidth up to 1.5 Mb/s; and Verilink CPE set-up.

The WorldCom Economy Frame Relay Service is geared toward larger and national businesses with low-bandwidth requirements. Packages include local network access, local-to-global frame relay service, SLA guarantees, and short-term contracts of one, two or three years.
