Yipes Enterprise Services Extends Simplicity and Scalability of Ethernet to Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - June 7, 2005 - Yipes Enterprise Services, Inc. (www.yipes.com), the pioneer in managed, end-to-end Ethernet solutions, today introduced Yipes ExpressReachSM, a new service feature capable of providing business customers simple, secure, flexible and fast connectivity over existing in-building wiring.
ExpressReachSM is an Ethernet-based connectivity solution developed by Yipes specifically for the increasing number of businesses and other organizations that require high-speed data connectivity but lack direct access to fiber or other high-speed medium in their office building. ExpressReachSM offers these businesses instantly scalable speeds of up to 10 Mbps for approximately the price of two T1's.
The Yipes ExpressReachSM feature is fully integrated with all other Yipes leading Ethernet services, including Metro Area Network (Yipes MAN) and high-speed Internet service (Yipes NET). With this development, Yipes continues to advance its media-agnostic "Ethernet over anything" philosophy toward the data services market.
At the heart of ExpressReachSM is its ability to utilize the existing conventional in-building wire to carry data at high speeds. Because ExpressReachSM is an Ethernet-based solution that inherently includes access and CPE, deployment and management are very straightforward and cost-effective, particularly when compared to traditional legacy solutions that are not as scalable and require significant investments in networking hardware. The end result is a high-value option for today's businesses, capable of delivering data speeds of up to 10 Mbps without costly new infrastructure or the need to learn and manage complex, new protocols and hardware.
ExpressReachSM utilizes the EdgeLink VDSL System from Foxboro, Mass.-based Telco Systems (www.telco.com) to ensure data integrity at all throughput levels. Yipes operates one of the largest carrier Ethernet Networks in the world utilizing multiple best-of-breed vendors.
"Yipes pioneered Ethernet-over-Fiber, providing scalability up to 1 Gbps to enterprise customers. With ExpressReachSM, we are delivering an affordable and scalable Ethernet solution for small-to-medium-sized businesses or enterprise branch offices. Up to now, these businesses have relied on lower speed broadband DSL, frame relay or multiple T1 point-to-point private lines, insufficient for today's robust applications," said Keao Caindec, vice president of marketing for Yipes. "ExpressReachSM gives businesses the speed, instant scalability and low latency needed to support video, VoIP, storage backup and recovery, Internet, on-demand CRM and ERP in the most cost-effective manner to date. Demonstrating the immediate demand for such an offering, already, more than five percent of our customer base is using ExpressReachSM."
ExpressReachSM is available throughout the entire Yipes network extending into over 128 cities across the United States and the U.K.
"The reliability, flexibility and value delivered by Yipes ExpressReachSM has made it an ideal complement to our Ez-Trade real-time trading platform on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange," said Kevin Tate, vice president of operations for ECI Global Systems Inc., one of the nation's leading providers of applications and services that automate stock, futures and options trading.
"Since Ez-Trade is our primary support system for traders and specialists, we trust Yipes ExpressReachSM to flawlessly carry critical financial data at high speeds. We also appreciate the ability to quickly scale up bandwidth as we need it without adding circuits. These benefits, combined with the very short provisioning intervals, made ExpressReachSM a great choice for ECI Global Systems."
"We are very pleased that an industry leader of Yipes' caliber selected our EdgeLink VDSL System for their high-quality, innovative and robust ExpressReachSM offering. A longtime partner of Telco Systems, Yipes also uses our T4 Routing Switch for higher bandwidth access services. Like Yipes, we believe the market for high data speeds over copper infrastructure is expanding rapidly," said Dave Lee, Telco Systems' vice president of marketing and service. "Our EdgeLink VDSL System is uniquely suited for the ExpressReachSM market with its capability to provide easy installation and cost-effective service up to 10 Mbps. We know EdgeLink and Yipes will be a great combination for ExpressReachSM customers."
