Altech TC announces new network
Altech Technology Concepts (ATC) today announced that it has built its own network to address performance and reliability issues and offer businesses a range of ‘high quality telecommunications products and services.’
“ATCs newly built network, focus on quality and aggressive new product roll-out plan is set to challenge the current solutions providers head-on by attracting those customers that place a large emphasis on the quality of the service they demand,” the company said in a press statement.
ATC said that they acquired significant space in the Teraco data centre in Isando, and they feel that they are well positioned as a complete Communications Service Provider (CSP) of managed services.
“Our network has been built with a strong focus on quality and value. Every decision made when designing and building the network was underpinned by the same question, ‘Does this add value to our customers and the way they do business?’,” said Wayne de Nobrega, CEO at ATC.
According to ATC the network has been designed to be completely resilient, meaning that it is able to “self-heal” in response to any changes or demands that may be made on the network configurations, hardware and systems. “Nowhere is there a single point of failure on the network,” said ATC.
ATC has provisioned equal capacity on two international cable systems, namely SAT-3 and Seacom. ATC has further negotiated multiple local peering agreements, not only for redundancy, but also to ensure optimum performance and best routing on the network.
ATC customers will have the choice of connecting into the ATC backbone through a variety of connectivity technologies including wireless, fibre, diginet, ADSL and bonded ADSL.
“Once connected, users can then break out into the Internet on ATC’s high speed links or communicate with their branch networks across a Virtual Private Network (VPN) through ATC’s managed network service offerings.”
“Although ATC offers fixed size internet connections, our preference, which mirrors the current international trend, is that usage based billing models allow the service provider to commercially offer quality, high speed access to the internet by rather increasing the size of the link and managing consumption, than limiting access to a smaller pipe and providing fixed line usage,” said De Nobrega.
“We are not trying to be the cheapest but rather the best performing network with aggressive pricing. There is a massive market of businesses that require high quality services but are being sold low quality solutions. We now have a network that can meet the demands of those customers,” de Nobrega concludes.
