WESTMONT, IL--(Marketwire - April 3, 2008) - Business Only Broadband (BOB), a carrier-class
wireless provider for the financial sector and other large enterprise
clients, announced today it will provide WiMAX service to BITS, a
subsidiary of the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank. ACBB, which is owned by
more than 350 community banks throughout the five states of NY, NJ, PA, MD,
and DE, provides correspondent banking services to its shareholder banks.
BITS (Banking Infrastructure & Technology Services) provides managed
communication services exclusively to community banks nationwide. Services
include secure and encrypted Branch-To-Branch Connectivity through MPLS
IP-VPNs, Hosted IP Telephony Services, Managed Secure Internet Access, and
Managed Third Party Connectivity Services, delivered by two fully
redundant, multi-million dollar data centers.
"Community banks are moving to next generation converged networks and as a
result are heavily dependent on their data network for all voice
communications and data services. A single disconnected circuit can disrupt
an entire bank's operation. Therefore, diversity in physical connectivity
mediums are of significant importance to community banks," said Chuck
Daniels, CEO of BITS. "Through BOB's microwave network solution, BITS can
further enhance our customers' network diversity to assure business
continuity."
BOB offers 100 % diverse service with no common point of failure with the
Local Exchange Carrier or Competitive Local Exchange Carriers. In addition
to Metro Ethernets and City-to-City connections, BOB provides the next
generation of last mile providers for Internet, Extranets and
point-to-point private microwave networks to assist IT professionals in the
development and implementation of their business continuity strategy.
BOB offers the enterprise marketplace four unique products. WiMAN
FinanceConnect™ is a custom Extranet solution that targets financial
exchanges, market data providers, and their data centers. WiMAN
PrivateConnect™ offers the market a wireless Metro Ethernet solution
that never has to traverse the public networks. The company's WiMAN
PublicConnect™ offers business class Internet transit, along with access
to multiple tier 1 transit providers at diverse data centers providing
companies with a routed IP connection to vendor/suppliers and remote
offices over an all wireless self-healing ring architecture.
BOB's latest innovation, WiMAN CityConnect™, connects Chicago to New
York so that its enterprise customers can combine Layer 2 and Layer 3
networks in either market without traversing the public networks.
