Expansion and Innovation - at High Speed

Organizations are demanding reliability and flexibility from their service providers.

There has been a growing trend among companies in the Greater Toronto Area regarding the use of traditional data carriers. Complex service offerings, high prices and lengthy delivery times have left many companies searching for a more reliable option in their data and recovery planning. Until recently, changing providers was non-conducive to smart business. Through ongoing emphasis on business continuity planning, these impediments have become the catalyst for major change in the data carrying industry.

This lack of service has fostered a surge in demand for a more responsive and focused provider. More and more, companies seeking an effective alternative are turning to providers like Blink Communications. In Mississauga alone, Blink now owns and operates over 590 kilometres of high-speed, high-availability, fibre infrastructure. Located in a region that has been attracting a significant number of head offices and other businesses, Blink is able to provide for companies that are looking for a reliable alternative to satisfy their continuity needs.

"We required a solution that was very specific to our immediate requirements; one that could scale with us rather than one that we had to pay to grow into," says Dubravko Kiko Grusecki, director of broadcasting operations for the Weather Network/Pelmorex. "Reliability and service delivery were also key drivers in our decision. As with other similar organizations, we cannot afford any downtime."

Grusecki continues, "Along with performance, it was very important for us to deal with a company that had a true commitment to customer service and expedient, non-obtrusive, technical support."
"The unparalleled speed available through our fibre optic network affords our customers the agility and responsiveness they eagerly demand," says Troy Hare, president of Blink Communications. "By combining our new fibre-optic resources in Mississauga with Blink's existing network, we have significantly increased our footprint in southern Ontario and further solidified Blink's position as a local leader for data services."

Blink's approach to data carrying breaks the mould in an industry that has become increasingly complicated. "Our clients appreciate our simplistic approach to network solutions," says Hare.

Blink Communication is a progressive utility telecom company and has operated as a subsidiary of Oakville Hydro since the late 90s. After acquiring the assets of Enersource Telecom (Mississauga Hydro's Telecom) early last year, Blink is now in high demand throughout the GTA and currently serves some of Canada's largest companies.
