Access agreement with iTel Networks Inc.
enables U.S.-based enterprises to extend network management
capabilities to Canadian locations
Comcast Business today announced that it has signed an access
agreement with iTel Networks Inc., a leading Canadian network
service provider, to deliver managed broadband services to
U.S.-based enterprise customers with a presence in Canada. Comcast
Business will leverage iTel Networks’ vendor relationships to
expand Comcast Business’ footprint and support its U.S.-based
Enterprise Solutions customers’ locations throughout Canada with
its Managed Broadband offering.
Connected technologies are the foundation of today’s data-driven
business environment. Fast, reliable, scalable and secure networks
are critical. However, managing performance across a large,
distributed enterprise is a complex task and day-to-day management
can strain resources that could otherwise be focused to help drive
productivity and profitability in the core business.
“Our Enterprise Solutions team has uncovered a wealth of
opportunities for Comcast Business to deliver services outside the
U.S. Many of our existing enterprise customers and prospects have
locations outside the United States; in particular, in Canada,”
said Glenn Katz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Comcast
Business Enterprise Solutions. “We’re excited to announce that we
are leveraging this exciting new relationship with iTel Networks to
serve our Managed Broadband enterprise customers’ Canadian
locations.”
Comcast Business can provide custom network connectivity
solutions with the ability to provision quality services now with
U.S. and Canadian coverage, as well as options that provide
physical diversity from traditional telecommunications providers.
With access to broadband technologies that enable reliable,
low-cost connectivity with increased bandwidth availability,
Comcast Business can offer a solution that leverages a mix of
access technologies to help today’s distributed enterprises
simplify network management.
“As a converged network company, we harness the power of every
Canadian carrier and every technology to create an affordable
network solution in even the most remote locations across Canada
and the U.S.,” said Dan Rink, CEO at iTel Networks Inc. “Our
agreement with Comcast Business brings this power to bear for their
U.S.-based enterprise customers looking to extend managed broadband
support to their Canadian locations.”
Comcast Business’ Managed Broadband service offers enterprises a
single service provider to oversee order management, installation,
account management, and billing for all on-net and off-net
locations. Additionally, it can provide proactive up/down network
monitoring via geographically diverse Network Operations Centers
(NOCs) located in the continental United States, and 24x7x365
support for all managed broadband locations.
