TeleSphere Launches in Las Vegas as Part of Continued Aggressive National Expansion Plan

Innovative Voice and Data Services Provide Robust Phone Service Over an All-IP Network, and Centrally Hosted Intelligence Eliminates the Need for a Customer PBX Phone System

TeleSphere, a nationwide managed telecommunications and network services provider, has now launched its innovative telecommunications platform in Las Vegas. The company has invested extensively in its own telecommunications infrastructure and hired staff locally to manage and support all Las Vegas-based clients.

The introduction of TeleSphere to the Las Vegas area marks another key step in an aggressive national expansion plan that is slated to see the company’s innovative services launched in multiple markets over the next year.

“Entering the Las Vegas market is a significant milestone because it signals the continued success of an aggressive expansion plan that will ultimately bring the most modern telecommunications solutions to thousands of businesses across the country,” said Clark Peterson, CEO of TeleSphere. “TeleSphere’s technology and service offerings are the smart choice in today’s telecommunications market because we give customers a more productive and cost-efficient product. This allows them to focus more capital on their core business – something that is especially important in today’s challenging economic climate.”

Setting TeleSphere apart from traditional telephone services are its unique features, functionality and reliability. Such state-of-the-art telephone services include simultaneous cell phone ring, Web click-to-dial, visual voice mail to e-mail, fax to e-mail, and seamless handoff between cellular and office phones, all at a simple-to-understand, cost-competitive per-user/seat charge. Many times, these advanced hardware and service features cost customers less than they are currently spending for traditional voice and data services.

TeleSphere’s expansion is made possible by several key investors, which consist of some of the most respected names in the telecommunications industry, including founding shareholder Rally Capital LLC, represented on the board by Managing Director Dennis Weibling; Hawkeye Investments LLC, whose president, John Chapple, also serves on the board; and Las Vegas based Greenspun Corporation, represented on the board by Senior Vice President Gary O’Malley.

“With the technology, service offering and management team in place, TeleSphere is thriving and positioned to succeed. They have a proven track record, and we know they will bring that same success to Las Vegas and future markets,” said O’Malley. “This is a group that has proven it can introduce the next generation of telecommunications services in the Las Vegas market, and we expect that to happen again and again with TeleSphere’s exciting, cutting-edge voice and data services.”

Located in southwest Las Vegas off of Interstate 215 and Tropicana Avenue, TeleSphere has named local resident Michael Simmons as general manager. Simmons will oversee the Las Vegas sales office, as well as the company’s customer service and technical support staff.

As part of its introduction to the Las Vegas Market, TeleSphere also donated $20,000 of in-kind voice and data services and equipment to the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada. The well-respected nonprofit will use TeleSphere’s unique technology to dramatically improve its telephone and Internet services, as well as accessibility of its “Wish Family Emergency Hotline.” The hotline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep families and medical personnel connected.
