LAS VEGAS--()--Cbeyond, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBEY) (www.cbeyond.net/smb), a leading provider of IT and communications services to small businesses, today announced it will be presenting at Channel Partners Conference and Expo in Las Vegas about the recently ratified update of SIPconnect, the industry standard for SIP Trunking.

The Channel Partners Conference & Expo (March 13-15) is the communications industry's only event exclusively for indirect sales organizations, including agents, VARs, systems integrators, interconnects and consultants. Chris Gatch, Cbeyond’s chief technology officer and board member of the SIP Forum, will be presenting on “SIP Connect 1.1 – Standardized SIP Trunking to a New Level” on March 14, 2011, at 11:45 a.m. PST.

Since 2005, Cbeyond has led the charge in the development of the SIPconnect standard and delivery of commercial SIP trunking services for small businesses. SIP trunking greatly enhances a small business' productivity by eliminating expensive gateway equipment and providing the rich telephony feature set normally only available to large enterprises. Cbeyond, one of the original contributors to a working group which authored the accepted specification for SIP trunking, has certified over 20 IP PBX manufacturers as being interoperable with its all-IP network. As a result of these certifications, customers may interconnect leading IP phone systems and Cbeyond's core voice and data package, BeyondVoice® with SIPconnect.
