August 23, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Choice One Communications (choiceonecom.com), an integrated
r
communications provider offering facilities-based voice and data
r
telecommunications services, web hosting, design and development to small
r
and medium-sized businesses, announced yesterday that it is now offering a
r
full suite of enhanced data features products.
r
r
The product set includes Network Address Translation, Firewall and Virtual
r
Private Network. These are all Choice One network-based services that will
r
provide SMBs with efficient, cost-effective solutions as opposed to
r
expensive and cumbersome hardware-based methods.
r
r
The new products are being piloted in Rochester, NY and Grand Rapids, MI.
r
r
The company plans to release the new products throughout its service area by
r
the end of this year. The EDF product set includes Virtual Private Network
r
services that allow businesses with multiple locations to securely connect
r
multiple locations for high-speed data transmission. The new product set
r
also includes Network Address Translation which enable computers to connect
r
simultaneously to the Internet without additional costs, as well as a
r
Firewall Security product that protects electronic files from network
r
intruders.
r
r
All of these products eliminate the need for businesses to purchase,
r
configure, and maintain their own equipment typically associated with these
r
applications. “This will revolutionize the way data services are delivered,”
r
said Kevin Stephens, senior vice president, marketing. “We’ve added a robust
r
suite of complementary data products to our already rich voice, DSL, T1, web
r
development and hosting offerings that will help our clients maximize their
r
productivity at considerable savings versus more expensive hardware
r
intensive solutions.”
r
r
“The Enhanced Data Features product set positions us as a full-service data
r
network provider for small and medium-sized businesses,” Stephens added.
r
“Historically, these were applications that only large corporations could
r
afford. By offering much more than the high-speed connectivity solution, we
r
not only create a tremendous competitive advantage for Choice One in the
r
marketplace, but also position our clients to better compete against larger
r
businesses.”
r
r
Choice One currently offers services in eleven Northeast and Midwest states.
