San Diego’s NextLevel Internet Delivers 2011 Year in Review


NextLevel Internet, Inc
., a leader in mission-critical Internet access and hosted voice services, is pleased to deliver a 2011 year in review and 2012 technology forecast.

“2011 was our most profitable and successful year to date. Not only did we see double digit growth in revenue and client base, but we also increased our number of employees by 26 percent,” said Jerry Morris, founder of NextLevel Internet, Inc. “We are continuously adapting and evolving our service offerings to make sure we are providing our B2B clients with the best privately managed voice, Internet, and cloud based data services available in the market. As we look forward into 2012, we see this trend to continue as we will be offering new services to remain ahead of the ever changing needs of our clients.”

Customer Satisfaction — In 2011, NextLevel Internet received the highest recognition for the company’s customer service and support. The company scored a Customer Excellence rating of 98 percent in a survey to the company’s existing client base. Conducted by Strategic Business Communications, Inc. (SBC) during a three month period from February through April 2011, the outside blind survey asked respondents to rate interactions, transactions and satisfaction levels between themselves and NextLevel Internet.

California Power Outage — Further expanding on NextLevel Internet’s mission-critical offerings; during the massive power outage on September 8, 2011, the company’s NextLevel Voice(TM) and Co-location services provided uninterrupted service to emergency organizations and first responders. The power outage, which was the largest recorded in the region’s history, lasting more than 10 hours left roughly eight million people and thousands of organizations in parts of Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico without power, Internet, and phone access. This disruption of power and the associated loss of connectivity could have resulted in the loss of life, money, or reputation for many of those affected.

NextLevel Voice Adoption Rate — Introduced as a new service in 2008, NextLevel Internet’s flexible hosted voice service, NextLevel Voice saw an increase in revenues of 65 percent during 2011. Clients have installed and retained NextLevel’s voice solutions because of the quality, reliability, affordability and disaster recovery (DR) attributes.

NextLevel Voice provides organizations with 10 to 500+ employees the advanced features and security of a sophisticated Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system for a fraction of the cost, with unsurpassed ease of use and zero system maintenance fees.

Data Center Expansion — In 2011, the company increased access to its new, secure, 88,000 square foot, SAS 70 Type II compliant data center in Rancho Bernardo, CA. The expansion to the new World Trade Drive Data Center followed the relocation of NextLevel Internet’s headquarters to North County San Diego in September 2010. SAS 70 Type II compliance certifies that NextLevel Internet’s data center has adequate controls and safeguards in place when hosting and processing data for the company’s clients.

Managed Internet Infrastructure — NextLevel Internet’s privately managed Clear Channel connectivity options allow businesses with 10 to 500+ employees the ability to control the quality of service (QoS) and class of service (CoS) to include its hosted voice service offerings. NextLevel’s mission critical Internet access and 24/7 NOC services are designed to give businesses everything they need to maximize company uptime and headquarter all remote sites.

“With the immense power outage in Southern California last week, I’m happy to report our customer’s service never skipped a beat,” said Eric Fleming, vice president technology operations for Golden Hour Data Systems.  ”As we help facilitate communications in the emergency medical transportation industry on a 24/7/365 schedule, our customers are often on lifesaving missions transporting those who are critically injured or ill. NextLevel’s proactive actions to ensure uninterrupted internet and hosting services have a direct effect on helping to save people’s lives.”

NextLevel’s high-availability (HA) hosted VoIP service provides organizations the advanced features and security of a sophisticated Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system for a fraction of the cost, with unsurpassed ease of use and often with zero system set up fees.
