Better Broadband for Business - A true alternative for businesses of all sizes.
A more focused means of ensuring integrity and redundancy for data connectivity
Perspective - May 2008
In an industry that seems to be recently characterized by divestitures, consolidations, and proposed technological bottlenecks, rises a fibre facilities
player that is growing leaps and bounds. Blink Communications is a facilities based data communications service provider that delivers cost-effective,
fiber-based high bandwidth services for applications that range from wide-area corporate networks and Internet, to consolidated IP data, voice and
multimedia transport. "The economics and feasibility of servicing business of all sizes with fibre based services are a reality today" said Troy Hare,
President and COO of Blink Communications, speaking at a recent Mississauga Technology Association event. Blink has gained recognition over the last
couple of years for its "Grow as you Go™ - One Connection, Infinite Possibilities™" strategic approach to the market -- a concept that has been very well
received, not only by business' of all sizes, but also by some of North America's largest organizations. Troy goes on to say, "Fibre services were
pretty much out of reach for the common small to medium size business. The high cost pretty much reserved the technology to that of carrier backbones.
We have bucked that trend by deploying over 1000 KM of our own routed fibre throughout the GTA, interconnecting with all major datacenters and major
providers for extended reach and redundancy."
Fibre optic technology has gained in popularity over the years as companies start realizing that either their inherent data applications or those of
their end customers are increasing at a rapid rate. Fibre based service allow companies of all sizes to scale with one connection rather than
continually pay providers upgrade fees and extra connections that are bonded together to serve the desired bandwidth requirements. Blink Communications'
optical network is fully diverse from that of other carriers -- a value proposition that is in high demand as companies are working on ensuring physical
data redundancy for their mission critical data along with the transport of their data to off-site storage facilities or datacenters. "We are an
underlining integral base and benchmark for what the future of data communications will bring over the next few years," said Dino Farinaccia, Director
of Marketing Blink Communications. He goes on to say, "The obvious proliferation of collaborative voice, video and data applications will demand that
the traditional bandwidth carriers step up to accommodate and innovate through the reality of change."
