Terra Telecom, Inc., wholly owned subsidiary of EGPI Firecreek, Inc,. has been selected to expand a long-standing federal government client’s VoIP network.

With a sign-off in late 2009, the project was recently completed in 2010, adding a new building to the VoIP voice platform and expanding more than 200 handsets, ultimately bringing the phone count up to over 1,000.
