Frontier Turns Up Optronics Network in Oregon PR Newswire - August 06, 1998 11:28 Businesses Now Have Access to One of the Nation's Most Advanced Communications Networks ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Oregon, a state known for its beautiful, natural vistas, is now also home to one of the most technologically advanced communications networks in the country. Frontier Corporation (NYSE: FRO) has turned up its Optronics network in Oregon, giving business customers faster transmission speeds, greater capacity and unmatched reliability for their data and voice communications needs. Frontier has turned up segments of its state-of-the-art, nationwide network all along the West Coast, from San Diego to Seattle. Frontier's Optronics network combines the most advanced fiber optic structure with state-of-the-art electronic equipment. The system is economical and scalable, thereby allowing Frontier to better meet customers' changing needs. The network's ring structure adds unrivaled reliability. "The West is the fastest-growing area for business in the United States," said Jim Ferguson, president of Frontier's Western Region. "Frontier is now able to better provide these customers with integrated data and voice services backed by reliable 'liquid bandwidth.'" Simply put, Frontier's "liquid bandwidth" concept gives its business customers enormous flexibility in determining their bandwidth needs, allowing them to "burst" into additional bandwidth when needed virtually on demand. Frontier will also provide customers with a Telecommunications Management Network-based set of applications that lets them track their usage, pay their bill, monitor their network, provision their bandwidth, and order other services on line via the Internet. To date, Frontier has lit more than two-thirds of its entire ring-based Optronics network. Frontier Corporation is a leading provider of integrated communications services -- including Internet, IP and data applications, long distance, local telephone and wireless -- to business customers nationwide. Frontier's self-healing, optical network provides customers with faster transmission speeds, greater bandwidth capacity and unrivaled reliability.
