Network Infrastructure

To ensure customers have convenient access to services, support and expertise, Broad-Connect operates infrastructure management facilities in major Canadian metropolitan areas such as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, Calgary and Vancouver.

Broad-Connect's world-class fiber-optic network ensures the delivery of highly reliable communication solutions across the country. Spanning over 20,000 km from coast to coast, the network is equipped with the latest digital switching technologies.

Broad-Connect is dedicated to deploying the latest technology to build the network of tomorrow, one that puts the power of the network in the hands of our clients. We take advantage of Intelligent Network Technology to improve business processes by integrating application intelligence in the network. By allowing capabilities inside the network that traditionally require many servers at the edge, and by opening the network to our clients' applications, Broad-Connect's Intelligent Network enables:

• Greater network control
• Ability to allow applications to talk to each other
• Ability to push through the most critical transactions faster
• Increased speed and network flexibility
• Enhanced and consistent network performance
• Improved continuity of service by tying the application and network together
• Greater security and stability

Our architecture and network strategy virtually eliminates packet loss, jitter and latency across the country and to the PSTN, translating into higher quality calls and more satisfied customers.

Network Features and Benefits

Velocity's state-of-the-art network relies upon professional engineering and superior technology to deliver you the benefits of excellent reliability and high quality.

Our network is purpose-built for redundancy, which maximizes reliability. Through the use of protected, diverse routes and a geographically distributed architecture, we have ensured that all network traffic can be assumed at any time under any conditions. Our redundancy strategy is supported by deploying all software and hardware equipment in paired, redundant configurations such that load-sharing and fail-over mechanisms are in place for any of the Super-POP locations.
