Expanding network into Charlotte and Raleigh was just the start of expansion for XO in 2009.
XO's been adding even more services to its too-big catalog lately. (I say too big because even XO sales folks don't remember half of what they sell or can brief prospects on more than a handful). The catalog is RBOC sized including Hosting, wireless, IP, VoIP, PBX, SIP trunks, transport, collocation, TDM, Ethernet, and Managed Services.
Oh, I forgot wavelength services too. And in a deal with Pacific Crossing, XO extends its reach to the Asia.
XO is back to pushing Fixed Wireless that it relegated to the old Nextlink brand. It was mentioned recently when XO announced that it was adding new speeds to its Hatteras based mid-band Ethernet service.
XO is also pushing Concentric, its hosting brand, with the announcement of a Managed Backup Service. According to Phone+ magazine, the service will be sold via a new VAR Channel Program (as well as current XO Business Partners).
Beyond transport, XO added Hosted IVR, labeled as an Inbound Teleservice, and XO Connect, which is a mass notification service. I guess, they are taking lessons from Ifbyphone to use SIP to do more than make cheap calls.
And finally XO has an agreement to extend VoIP to 2800 LSO's in the US. That deal apparently also includes transport and transit to 2800 rate centers.
That's a lot of expansion once the heavy debt was lifted.
