EarthLink Builds Smarter Networks at NRF 2016
January 12 2016 - 9:30AM
EarthLink (EarthLink Holdings Corp.) (NASDAQ:ELNK) a leading
provider of managed network, security and cloud solutions for
multi-location businesses announced today that it will exhibit at
the 2016 National Retail Federation’s Big Show Expo in New York
City, Jan. 17 – 20, 2016. At the expo, EarthLink will demonstrate
new technology that helps solve the challenges associated with
cloud based application performance. The solution combines hybrid
networking with software-defined application visibility and control
that transforms IT into a strategic business driver. This upgraded
WAN design allows retailers to deliver a better customer experience
by cost effectively adding bandwidth while gaining visibility and
control of application performance.
“The mobile device explosion continues to push the demands for
greater bandwidth,” said Rick Froehlich, Executive Vice President
and Chief Commercial Officer at EarthLink. “We partner with
retailers to deploy the right bandwidth with improved application
performance to help meet the demands of their increasingly mobile
consumers.”
Also at EarthLink’s NRF 2016 booth:
- Playing off of the theme of Building Smart Networks, LEGO®
model artist Eric Hunter is building a model of the Chrysler
Building out of LEGO® blocks. EarthLink will hold a drawing to see
who gets the closest to guessing how many blocks are used in the
construction. See the construction underway on Jan. 17 &
18.
- EarthLink will donate $75 to the Retail Orphan Initiative
(RetailROI), an organization that helps raise awareness and provide
real solutions for 400 million vulnerable children worldwide, for
every retailer, analyst or media member that visits and has their
badge scanned at the booth. This is part of an ongoing initiative
EarthLink is undertaking that has resulted in more than $25,000
going to RetailROI’s partner Safe Families for Children.
“We encourage retailers to come see what is new and how we are
making an impact on businesses around the country,” said Gerard
Brossard, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of
Enterprise/Mid-Market and Information Technology at EarthLink.
“Whether it is a specialty retailer or a large nation-wide
restaurant chain, we are helping optimize their business and cloud
networks to create a foundation for the Smart Networks of the
future.”
