Your Customer Locations Span the Globe, does
YOUR NETWORK?
The
world is getting flatter, geographic borders
are breaking down and customers are
demanding global solutions for voice, data,
and video services. Opening offices and
moving locations outside of the home region
is a common growth pattern for businesses
and they are seeking a service provider that
can get them connected in a cost-effective
manner.
If you have requirements to build out your
network beyond your regional boundaries, or
have a large customer requesting diversity
and connection of many locations currently
not on-net to you, or a business plan which
includes the addition of new service areas,
then a pre-paid term lease for capacity or a
IRU for dark fiber may be best way to go for
your budget and service strategy needs.
Before you consider a service provider,
consider the following:
