200th Customer.
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 1999--CTC
Communications (NASDAQ:CPTL.O)--a rapidly expanding provider of
state-of-the-art integrated communications solutions for
medium-to-large enterprises in the Northeast United States announced
that it has installed 200 customer locations on its Cisco(R) Powered
IntelliNET(TM), a milestone achieved ahead of schedule.
Customer demand for IntelliNET(TM) has exceeded Company
expectations during its managed commercial rollout, which originally
projected 200 customers by year-end. CTC has surpassed its goal
leading into the New Year and in January will shift into full
commercial production.
The 200th customer location "live" on CTC's IntelliNET(TM) is
Chas. H. Sells, Inc., a leading northeast engineering services
company. The company has corporate offices in Briarcliff, NY and
branches in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Connecticut.
For Sells Inc., CTC installed PowerPath(SM) broadband access and
converged Internet, frame relay and voice solutions.
Commenting from Chas. H. Sells, Inc., was Controller Naomi
Isaacs, who stated, "We selected CTC Communications because they could
deliver a network design that could truly bring our locations
together. It was essential to have Internet access, data and voice
connectivity so our headquarters and branch locations could feel like
one." Ms. Isaacs continued, "We are not telecommunications
technologists here but fortunately we are cradled in the highly
competent hands of CTC Communications and the installation and
services have been excellent."
"Chas. H. Sells is a good example of what CTC's IntelliNET(TM)
can deliver to our business customers," said Robert Fabbricatore,
CTC's Chairman and CEO. "It provides new broadband network
capabilities that deliver real-world connectivity and efficiencies
which we believe are without parallel."
Chas. H. Sells network solutions are being provided through CTC's
IntelliNET(TM). CTC has launched their newly developed integrated
communications network comprised initially of 22 Cisco-powered hub
locations, which provide broadband service in each of the New England
States, New York and New Jersey. Representing an investment to date of
over $50 million, the network is powered by a suite of Cisco
networking products, including IP, frame relay and ATM, and enabled
through Accelerated Network's Integrated Access Devices (IADs)
installed at CTC customer locations. CTC's IntelliNET(TM) delivers
converged, value-added, high-speed Internet, data, video and long
distance voice services to its expanding business customer base. |
