Powernet —
SIP Trunking, Hosted PBX & Bundled Connectivity

Powernet delivers SIP long distance, local SIP lines, inbound DIDs for US and Canada, toll-free SIP origination, and flat-rate options for businesses in the contiguous 48 states. Their SIP trunking has no port charges, no port minimums, and no short call penalties — making it particularly cost-effective for call centers with predictive dialers where large volumes of short calls would otherwise be penalized. Calls are rounded to the 4th decimal, creating meaningful savings at high volumes.

Powernet's Hosted PBX is a cloud-delivered PBX system with auto-attendant, voicemail-to-email, hunt groups, ring groups, call forwarding, and full UCaaS features. Unlike on-premises PBX hardware that requires upfront capital investment and ongoing maintenance, Hosted PBX shifts to an operating expense model with no hardware to manage. Powernet's US-based support team handles moves, adds, and changes without requiring on-site technicians.

Powernet's Call Center SIP solutions are purpose-built for predictive dialers and high-volume outbound contact center environments. The service is optimized for short-duration calls — a common pattern with predictive dialing — using 4-decimal rounding rather than per-minute rounding that would inflate costs at scale. The platform supports the concurrent call volumes and simultaneous channel counts that standard business SIP trunks are not always sized for.

Powernet bundles SD-WAN with data services — including Ethernet, T1, NxT1, DS-3, and OC-3 — along with 4G LTE failover for automatic circuit backup and network security features. Because Powernet aggregates voice and data, integrated access is available for businesses that want a single pipe carrying both internet and SIP voice. The SD-WAN layer adds intelligent traffic management and failover across primary and backup connections.

Powernet offers FCC-certified cell signal boosters for hospitals, warehouses, schools, and hospitality properties. These are commercial-grade boosters — distinct from consumer models — that comply with FCC Part 20 and carrier certification requirements. They amplify existing cellular signals throughout large or signal-blocked structures without creating interference on carrier networks. Public safety signal boosters are also available for facilities that require emergency responder communications coverage.

Yes. Powernet runs voice and data services over multiple Tier 1 carrier networks — historically including CenturyLink, Verizon, Level 3, and XO Communications. Operating across multiple networks lets Powernet find competitive loop rates for different geographic locations that a single-carrier provider could not. For customers, this means Powernet can often source connectivity in markets where a mono-carrier provider would have limited availability or higher pricing.

Powernet typically requires a one-year minimum term agreement for most services, with no monthly minimum charges beyond the loop rate for voice contracts. Longer terms can be offered for customers seeking additional rate flexibility. The short minimum commitment and absence of volume minimums make Powernet accessible for growing SMBs that need predictable terms without locking into multi-year obligations at full rack rate.

No. Your contract is signed directly with Powernet. Fibi advises on Powernet alongside other SIP, UCaaS, and connectivity providers at no cost — funded by a carrier commission that is part of Powernet's existing sales budget and does not affect your invoice. The benefit of working with Fibi is an independent comparison of Powernet against other providers before committing, and post-sale escalation support if issues arise.
