Uecomm Announces International Data Connectivity
Specialist fibre broadband carrier, Uecomm, today announced that it has extended its delivery capability to include international connectivity for its high-speed data customers.
"Connecting geographically dispersed offices is essential for our customer base of large corporations. We make it easy for companies to extend their Ethernet local area network (LAN) to a wide area Ethernet network via our Ethernet VLAN (Virtual LAN) service and our customers are extremely receptive to this solution for their multi-point connectivity needs," said Brendan Park, Uecomm's product and marketing director.
"We are now able to provide Australian-based enterprises with international data connections to multiple locations outside of Australia," Park said.
Uecomm has already signed Sony Australia and commercial law firm, Phillips Fox, to the service.
Phillips Fox has a number of offices located throughout Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam. Uecomm provides connectivity for their national wide area network (WAN), which includes a connection to their office in Auckland.
"We have just moved our NZ offices across to our central Practice Management System based in Sydney, and network performance was critical to the success of this project," said John Duckett, IT Manager, Phillips Fox. "I am pleased to say that the performance from the Tasman link has exceeded our expectations, and our NZ users have commented positively on the responsiveness of the new system. We are extremely pleased with the simplicity of the network, the ease of managing it, and the possibilities it provides for implementing other services."
Uecomm has selected Sprint to provide the international service.
David Eagle, Managing Director, Sprint Australia said "The combined Uecomm and Sprint service presents Australian-based corporations with a solid value proposition and a true choice in locally based telecommunication suppliers. We're delighted that Sprint has been chosen to support Uecomm in expanding their offering to corporate customers."
Through Sprint, Uecomm's International service coverage is available throughout Asia Pacific, Europe and America. International customer connections will initially be offered at speeds from 2Mbps.
