Furthering its bid to expand nationally, communications
provider Electric Lightwave Inc. announced
Wednesday that it will offer high-speed data and Internet access services
to businesses in the New York area.
Using its national fiber optic network, Electric Lightwave will provide
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey businesses with high-speed data and
Internet service, including frame relay, point-to-point private lines,
Remote NetConnect, Asynchronous Transfer Mode and transparent Local Area
Network services.
The company said its services will allow the region’s businesses to
hurdle over bandwidth constraints and provide reliable, ultra high-speed
data transmission.
“Northeast businesses have a high demand for increased bandwidth capacity
to optimize the sharing of information,” said Joe
Preval, Electric Lightwave’s regional agent data manager. “By utilizing our
network, business customers are assured higher speeds, greater throughput
and value.”
The company’s national expansion also includes offering data and Internet
access services to Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta,
Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Diego, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Boston.
“New York has seen the shift from voice to data with the advent of the
Internet,” said Preval. “Our secure, state-of-the-art network in this area
is important for businesses who need reliable Internet connection and who
are constantly constrained with bandwidth limitations.”
The Vancouver, Wash.-based company currently offers data and Internet
access solutions to businesses, including local and long distance telephone
service, video conferencing, prepaid and broadband transport services to
business customers in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Phoenix, Salt Lake
City and Boise.
