MegaPath Wireless Broadband allows customers to provide all their distributed locations with secure Internet access and data communications from a single vendor. The service delivers wireless back-up capabilities in the event of a network outage, as well as a Quick Start option that enables customers to leverage the wireless network, while awaiting their physical broadband network to be provisioned.
MegaPath required the ability to provide secure, cost-effective wireless connectivity as a complement to its existing services and maintain industry leadership. “Contour Networks ability to provide a private and secure wireless network at a competitive price allows MegaPath to accelerate our wireless rollout while maximizing customer value,” said Beth Tyebjee, Senior Vice President, Marketing at MegaPath. “Contour Networks’ wireless service allows us to connect to locations that are unreachable or too expensive to support using traditional high-speed offerings.”
Managed IP communications is an industry
segment of significant value to Contour Networks. “The
partnership with MegaPath fits extremely well into our business
model by combining the private and secure network with
customized pricing and billing solutions. We believe the
partnership will provide the ability to expand beyond our
traditional installed base to include other opportunities in
which we can eliminate the need for managing VPNs and improving
our customers’ operational efficiencies,” said Robert Guglielmi,
Contour Networks Chief Marketing Officer.
