Qwest Wholesale has introduced a CPE rental program specifically targeted to Resellers and CLECs. Your customers will have the option to add either ADTRAN® or Cisco® data CPE to a new or existing Wholesale Dedicated Internet Port or IP Solutions Private and Enhanced port with a simple uplift in their Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC).
Because this is a rental program, no capital outlay is required to run a similar CPE rental program in-house. Qwest will order, stage and drop-ship the Plug ‘N’ Play™ Rental CPE Packages* to a location of your choice and simply add the monthly rental fee as a separate line item on your invoice. At the end of the CPE term, simply put the CPE back in the box it was shipped in and send it back to Qwest. Qwest will even pay the shipping charges!
Qwest Wholesale understands that IP networking is becoming increasingly more complex as small and medium size businesses (“SMBs”) look to converge their applications and communication between remote sites via IP instead of legacy protocols such as Frame Relay, ATM and Private Line. SMBs are also concerned about security and costs associated with managing networks internally. SMBs often wonder if they have the skill set to keep up with this always changing technology and are looking for ways to lower cost by outsourcing the management of their network.
