OVERLAND PARK, Kan. –(Business Wire)–

To ensure the future availability of new IP addresses for its customers, Sprint (News – Alert) (NYSE: S) has completed the first phase of IPv6 deployment for large businesses and wholesale partners that use its domestic Internet backbone. Additional deployment phases will continue through 2010 and by the end of this year, Sprint plans to roll out IPv6 support to its remaining domestic sites and international Internet backbone, including points of presence in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. This will give Sprint global businesses and wholesale partners the benefits of IPv6 services on SprintLink Dedicated Internet Access service.

IP is the basis of all Internet communications, connecting billions of devices via unique addresses available through the current protocol, IPv4. However, the dramatic increase in the size of the Internet and in the number of devices accessing it is driving the need for many more IP addresses. Industry experts predict that the pool of available IPv4 addresses will be depleted over the next 12 to 18 months. IPv6 is the Internet community’s solution for this issue, increasing the address space from 32 bits in IPv4 to 128 bits in IPv6. This allows for trillions of addresses, enough to accommodate the future needs of every person on the planet.

Sprint IPv6 deployment is a vital step which ensures smooth transition to the new protocol for customers whose critical content and applications rely on Sprint’s converged IP backbone. To aid in that transition, Sprint is implementing IPv6 support using a native dual-stack solution, which allows IPv6 to coexist with customers’ IPv4 network. This approach requires no changes to customers’ network design, easing deployment, troubleshooting, and management of the new IPv6 protocol.

“IP is the glue that allows us to integrate services effectively between wired and wireless, mobile and fixed,” said Iyad Tarazi, vice president of Network Development and Engineering, Sprint. “We want to make sure that Sprint’s networks are ready to meet business and wholesale partner needs, and we believe that IPv6 capabilities will be crucial to keep the momentum of innovative new services flowing on the Internet as we approach IPv4 exhaustion.”

The next phase will extend IPv6 support to Sprint’s Global MPLS Layer3 VPN network, currently planned for 2011, and finally to the wireless network, in early 2012. Sprint has offered IPv6 services on its Peerless IP network since 2007.

Sprint has been a pioneer in the IPv6 evolution, actively involved in the standardization, testing, and deployment of IPv6 since 1997. An early adopter of IPv6 in an experimental capacity, Sprint supports a test-bed network to gain experience with the protocol and to offer service to early adopters. The most up-to-date information about Sprint’s ongoing IPv6 rollout is available at http://www.sprintv6.net.

Sprint delivers wireless, wireline and converged solutions through its Business Markets Group (BMG). BMG is a provider of end-to-end solutions, mobile broadband and M2M capabilities for enterprise, small and medium-sized business and public sector customers. Sprint continues to build on its expansive solutions portfolio, which is supported by 3G and 4G mobile broadband, a Cisco (News – Alert) Powered Tier 1 global IP network and a growing ecosystem of M2M partners.

CTI Communications, a national provider of IT and VoIP infrastructure products and services is among the first to offer both premise-based and outsourced services within the same product set. “Typically a provider of premise-based solutions considers outsourcing a direct competitor and in the reverse, an outsourced provider considers the premise-based provider a competitor. CTI is among the first to offer blended services and has a real advantage due to their knowledge of networks and telephony infrastructure,” remarked Michael Curry, chief of business development for Conexion One.

“Many of our customers nationwide have incorporated some form of outsourcing within their business, primarily to increase efficiencies and reduce cost,” remarks Rich Browne, CTI Communications President and CEO. “The benefits of having the same company integrate and manage both the premise-based and the outsourced call center as one solution, far exceeds our expectations in both revenue retention and customer satisfaction. In today’s turbulent economic times, this business model helps generate an additional revenue stream from our new and existing accounts.”The Spanish language is the second-most common language in the United States after English. There are more Spanish speakers in the U.S. than there are speakers of Chinese, French, Hawaiian, and the Native American languages combined. According to the 2007 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau, Spanish is the primary language spoken at home by over 34 million people ages 5 and older. There are 45 million people who speak Spanish as their first or second language, and there are 6 million Hispanic students, making the U.S. the world’s second-largest Spanish-speaking community, only after Mexico and ahead of Spain, Colombia and Argentina. Roughly half of all U.S. Spanish speakers also speak English “very well”, based on responses to the Census’ self-assessment question.
