ITC DeltaCom might have been stubborn and stayed the course. As one of the most established CLECs in the United States, serving small business customers over a 10-state region in the southeast, the company certainly appeared entrenched.
Now the company will be a bit more fortified by rolling out a new suite of IP services this week that will be deployed immediately over its 9,640-mile fiber-optic network.
"We own and operate the most dense fiber-optic network in the southern U.S.," says Moss Crosby, ITC DeltaCom's vice president of marketing. "It's our greatest asset and we're proud of it."
ITC DeltaCom's new IP network services will be part of a movement to take better advantage of that asset. The new offerings will include IP VPN capability, enhanced Internet security with managed firewall/IDS and network-managed IP monitoring services.
The products are designed specifically to assist the small and medium-sized businesses with Internet security during the current market times. Many of ITC DeltaCom's customers don't have the capital or IT staff to implement the higher level IP services.
"We're taking it up a notch. Our strategy is to take big business functionality and bring that down to our medium-sized business customers," says David Freytag, product manager for ITC DeltaCom's data solutions. "It's going to make our customers more competitive, because these are services that were previously out of their reach."
The three new IP solutions are all now available for ITC DeltaCom customers. ITC DeltaCom currently serves almost all the Tier 1 markets in the southeast, including Atlanta; Orlando, Fla.; and Nashville, Tenn.
