Brisbane-based telecommunications provider IntraPower has announced the completion of the IntraPower High Availability Network (IHAN).
The IHAN achieves multi-carrier diversity by integrating the parallel services from carriers, such as Telstra, AAPT, Optus and Nextgen.
As a result, IntraPower is offering SMEs a higher level of reliability, performance and diversity than any one provider or carrier can offer on their own.
IntraPower customers can easily and quickly connect their businesses together on a professional enterprise grade network without the cost.
All of a business’s data, voice and communication needs are delivered as a service as part of IntraPower's data communication on-demand solution.
IntraPower's customers can share their data without ever touching the internet, and avoid the pain of slow performance, reliability and security risks.
The innovative company has also developed a range of cost-effective redundancy options, ranging from service provider redundancy to infrastructure redundancy that include fibre, copper, ethernet, 3G and fixed wireless failover technologies.
Managing Director Greg Kennish says today marks a key milestone for the company.
"One of IntraPower's key objectives when it listed on the ASX in 2007 was to complete the IHAN,” he says.
“With that task now essentially complete, we deliver a unique value proposition to ISPs, channel partners and customers - that of a truly high availability network with the multi-carrier diversity that simultaneously leverages top tier national carriers.
“This coupled with a direct, simple and well structured delivery of last mile services and powerful redundancy options mean that our partners and customers can achieve unprecedented levels of security, reliability, performance and value for money.”
The IntraPower network provides a platform from which it can build on delivering a various value-add IP based services, including voice, video and IT applications - all in the software-as-a-service model.
“These services virtually eliminate ICT and T related capital expenditure, convert current sunk costs, overhead and unpredictable ICT and T expenditure into predictable and controllable fixed costs. It's a powerful and exciting proposition in the current economy," Kennish explains.
“With the IHAN complete and rollout of IntraPower's Business On-Demand suite gaining traction, IntraPower has expanded its market opportunity up to eight times whilst also attaining higher profit margins and revenue that is more likely to ‘stick" beyond the initial contract.
“This provides both an important evolution for the company in its business model as well as essential diversification of service offering and revenue moving forward.”
Based in Brisbane, IntraPower also has offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
