Level 3 Launches Wholesale Partner Program

Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE:LVLT, news, filings) today announced that it has launched the Level 3 Wholesale Partner Program to better enable domestic and international wholesale carriers to resell Level 3’s services to their enterprise customers. The program is designed to make it easier for carriers to leverage the Level 3 network as a simple, cost-effective extension of their own network in order to serve enterprise customers in areas outside of their service region.

As carriers compete to serve enterprise customers, the ability to provide a holistic solution that reaches all of the enterprise customers’ locations is critical. Level 3’s Wholesale Partner Program enables carriers to accomplish this in a simple, fast and seamless manner. The program offers:

• A dedicated Level 3 account team
• Flexible and easy-to-use quoting and ordering tools that lets partners choose how they want to work with Level 3
• Level 3’s extensive network coverage and connectivity to the vast majority of business demand in the U.S.
• Level 3’s commitment to provide industry-leading service delivery intervals

Partners can also take advantage of Level 3’s comprehensive enterprise solution portfolio, including VoIP-enabled unified communications, enterprise WANs, high-performing websites, data center networking, security solutions and adaptive cloud solutions.

“When a wholesale partner wants to deliver a solution to an enterprise, they don’t want to worry about cumbersome processes slowing them down,” said Andrew Crouch, president of Sales for Level 3. “Level 3’s Wholesale Partner Program enables carriers to leverage the Level 3 network quickly and easily to enhance their ability to win in the highly competitive enterprise market.”
