Northwood, Ohio – September 30, 2026 — Telesystem, a leading provider of nationwide managed technology solutions, today announced it has been named a recipient of the 2026 INTERNET TELEPHONY Channel Program Excellence Award by TMC. This marks the third consecutive year Telesystem has received this distinguished honor from INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine, which recognizes organizations for their exemplary commitment to building trusted partner relationships, delivering industry-leading support, and expanding their portfolio of advanced technology solutions.
Since formally launching its Partner Program in 2016, Telesystem has established itself as a trusted provider for partners, delivering consistent, reliable experiences, and end-to-end support from various levels of the organization. Telesystem’s channel program empowers partners to confidently deliver connectivity, communications, security, and managed technology solutions to their customers nationwide. Through its channel-centric approach, partners have direct access to dedicated Regional Channel Managers and Sales Engineers, and are supported by technical expertise, sales enablement, and marketing resources throughout the customer lifecycle.
>Unlike other providers that depend heavily on third-party core infrastructure and support, Telesystem privately owns and operates its nationwide network, backed by an in-house 24x7x365 U.S.-based support team. This operating model provides greater control over network performance, reliability, and service quality—contributing to an average customer tenure of 11 years and a Net Promoter Score exceeding +75. These results give partners confidence that their customers will receive reliable, responsive support throughout the relationship.
“Receiving the INTERNET TELEPHONY Channel Program Excellence Award for the third consecutive year is an honor and a reflection of the relationships we’ve built with our partners,” said James Maloney, President of Telesystem. “Our channel program is built around being accessible, transparent, and responsive at every stage of the relationship. From discovery and solution design through installation and ongoing support, our goal is to give our partners the resources and expertise they need to confidently support their customers and grow their businesses.”
This commitment is further reflected in Telesystem’s guiding principle, “IT’s About Trust.” The company prioritizes transparency, accessibility, and long-term relationships, giving partners direct access not only to their daily contacts, but also to technical specialists and executive leadership for strategic guidance and responsive support. By staying actively engaged throughout the partnership, Telesystem ensures partners have the resources and backing needed to capitalize on new opportunities, strengthen customer relationships, and drive sustained growth.
“On behalf of TMC and the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine, we are honored to recognize Telesystem as a winner of the INTERNET TELEPHONY Channel Program Excellence Award for its distinguished program,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “Winning this award is no small feat. It signifies Telesystem is operating at the absolute top of its game — delivering breakthrough technology while giving partners the competitive edge to dominate their markets.”
Winners of the 2026 INTERNET TELEPHONY Channel Program Excellence Award are published on TMCnet, and INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine online.
