SEATTLE, April 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- 360networks, the premier provider of wholesale communications services in the western United States, today announced its latest service offering -- the VoIP360(r) Enhanced Two-Way CCS. It is the ideal solution for service providers, such as MSOs, ISPs, VSPs, CLECs, and other carriers who utilize PRI's for various voice applications. The Enhanced Two-Way CCS service will provide all the features and functionality of a traditional PRI via a single IP connection and can easily scale on an individual call session basis.

Unlike a traditional PRI, there is no geographic restriction to a local market, which allows customers to quickly expand their reach and reduce costs.
