Zayo’s 100G Wavelength technology now provides West Coast customers with increased capacity, improved latency and cost efficiencies across a corridor that includes a high concentration of media content and internet companies.

With data consumption on the rise, this expansion will accommodate bandwidth demand driven by cloud computing, mobile traffic, “big data” processing and video streaming with Ethernet-based service delivery to customer sites. Additionally, because 100G transport requires fewer hardware connections than multiple 10G platforms, Zayo’s service allows customers to build their networks more efficiently, and with fewer potential points of failure.

Caisson provides telecom consulting and telecom brokerage services to international, biotechnology company, LabConnect LLC. 

Headquartered in Seattle, LabConnect LLC had outgrown its SODO area location and was preparing to move to a bigger space in Pioneer Square. Caisson Technologies helped transfer and update the company's entire telecom solution, including its phone system.

Indirect Sales Agents are an unconventional, benefits-driven solution.

Indirect sales agents are the alternative to direct sales when buying telecom. Also known as consultants or brokers, indirect sales agents sell telecom products and services through a strategic partnership offered by providers. However, they are completely independent from the provider and their services are free to business customers.

This is not resale. By partnering with providers, indirect agents gain access to the same promotional pricing, new product and service training and customer support networks that direct sales agent use. 

Wholesale distributor, McKillican American Inc. is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. It plans improved telecommunication services at several of its locations in the U.S.A. The company chose Washington-State-based Caisson Technologies to provide telecom consulting and to deliver telecom services and equipment.

Beginning with the company's Oregon and Idaho locations, Caisson identified available carriers. This is known as “qualifying a location” in telecom speak, and it's the first step in buying telecom.

“There is obviously a great deal of expertise with Caisson Technologies that eliminates the telecom language barrier. Caisson is really good at dissecting problems within our telecom infrastructure, condensing details and revealing solutions in a way we can understand.”-Marc Emond, IT Manager, McKillican American Inc.

A common question raised with Comcast Business Metro Ethernet products is whether or not they have “proactive monitoring.” In fact, Comcast provides proactive monitoring as a value-added service today. 

Comcast has a dedicated surveillance team in place that is staffed 24 x 7. They currently have a “eyes on glass” approach and monitor spectrum for any unreachable customer premise devices. 

Promotional pricing includes:

• 10 x 10 Cage = $1800 MRC , NRC Waived
• Fully Lockable Cabinet = $400 MRC, NRC Waived
• Power required and charged separately; NRCs on power waived.
• 20A@120V = $225 MRC

News for Caisson customers:

Nationwide business phone and Internet service provider, XO Communications just announced that it's moving away from TDM based products and will attempt to migrate legacy customers to corresponding IP based services.

I like to think of Comcast Business service as two different offerings - Enterprise (fiber) and SMB (coax). Within Comcast Business there are two different CRMs, different rules of engagement, and different people who handle support. These notes ONLY apply to the *Enterprise* side of Comcast Business, which is the one that really excites us here at Caisson.

In the rest of this post, we address:

1. What Metro-E Offerings are offered by Comcast Business?

2. All Metro-E offering require some construction.

3. Comcast Business can deliver PRI service over their fiber, not just coax.
