eVopay’s Technology
and Infrastructure Partners
Since its creation in 1992, the OFEX traded company Ashpool Telecom PLC has been dedicated to providing reliable, high quality solutions to client requirements in the communications arena. Our focus has always been not only on supplying and installing the basic system, but on making sure the complete project works as a whole.
This is made possible by our company's strong, technically skilled staff, who have wide-ranging and deep knowledge of the technology appropriate to the accelerating convergence of telecommunications, broadcasting, mixed-media and pure data systems. In particular, Ashpool Telecomm's extensive experience with high-quality Telecom Billing systems, Voice processing and Data Networking experience have enabled eVopay to construct a highly sophisticated system from Ashpool's pre-existing and field-proven technology base.
Redstone Telecom is one of the UK’s leading national network operators. We are independent, both operationally
and financially from other network operators and enjoy interconnect agreements with BT, CWC, One 2 One, WorldCom,
Sprint and Global One.
Our network was created using the "Smart Build" concept of investment in the intelligent elements of the infrastructure,
whilst leasing the physical cabling capacity. The result is coverage traditionally enjoyed by only the largest providers.
"Smart Build" has not only enabled us to achieve an enviable level of network resilience but by keeping our overheads to
an absolute minimum it allows us to offer highly competitive costs. The result for our customers is competitive rates for
high quality operations and services.
The network is made up of a 2.5 gigabit per second, fibre-based SDH ring overlaid with a fully operational ATM service, encompassing
two high-capacity voice switching centres in the Greater London area, four additional strategically located switches in Birmingham,
Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester and 61 network access points in other key towns and cities.
Our current products include a range of outbound telephony services and a full range of direct response and call centre solutions.
We are one of the UK’s leading Premium Rate Services providers with an extensive range of rates and flexible reporting and billing packages.
Redstone’s reputation rests as much on our readiness to take advantage of new trends as on the strength of our customer relationships.
Hence our current preparations for the implementation of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. Operators such as ourselves will
be able to use BT’s existing copper lines to establish high bandwidth connections, capable of carrying both voice and data.
With access to the cables that run between BT exchanges and the consumer, whether business or residential, Redstone will be able to extend
its network strategy to a local level and build metropolitan area networks at a significantly lower cost than is possible using fibre-optic links.
The result for our customers will be the provision of cost-efficient broadband services, which integrate voice, data and the Internet for true
multimedia communications in mid-2001.
