PHONE+ magazine, a resource for the telecommunications indirect sales channel, announced that AireSpring Communications has been selected as a Top 50 Channel Program. The results of this contest are published in the October issue of PHONE+ magazine and in the online Channel Program Guide. The winners also will be recognized at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Miami, Sept. 23-25.

AireSpring was selected among hundreds of companies – carriers, resellers, master agencies, and hardware and software vendors – that submitted their channel programs for the 2009 ballot. Winners were determined by the votes of nearly 1,000 indirect sales partners submitted Aug. 10-19.

“Every year, PHONE+ is proud to recognize these channel programs for exceptional service to the channel,” said Mike Saxby, group publisher for PHONE+. “These companies set an example for others in telecom’s indirect channel, and we are grateful that so many partners turned out to vote for their favorites.”

AireSpring offers market-leading long-distance, local, data and next-generation SIP trunking solutions that provide companies with tailored services that are powerful and cost-effective.
