Parallax Systems Partners with Indiana Fiber Network, LLC to Enable Organizations via Fiber Optic Connectivity
Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) September 21, 2017 -- Indiana Fiber Network, LLC (IFN), the leading Indiana statewide Network Service Provider, announces that Parallax Systems, a division of Richmond Power and Light, has selected IFN as one of its middle mile transport providers. According to Jason Weatherly, IFN Enterprise Sales Manager, middle mile fiber is wholesale data transport, specifically targeted at Internet Service Providers, Telecom companies, and cellular companies. “Our fiber transport service provides Parallax Systems and their customers with transport from their Richmond location to multiple communication providers. IFN’s service provider strategy is to provide carrier neutral access for our customers,” said Weatherly.
Because of the good understanding of mutual needs and capabilities, the affiliation with IFN produced “no surprises,” Rich Cody, Manager at Parallax Systems says. “We immediately knew we had partnered with a like-minded company. Our business is built on what is good for the customer.” As for performance, “IFN has exceeded and continues to exceed our expectations.”
But Cody says, “More important than the products we secured, is the relationship we have with IFN. We have often said that if the relationship with IFN had not been formed, Parallax Systems probably would not exist.”
Cody noted some of Parallax Systems’ accomplishments facilitated by using IFN:
• Since our inception in 2000, we have built well over 200 miles of fiber in Richmond. We serve both private and public sectors.
• We have secured a seat at all economic site selector meetings, which has been instrumental in the success of landing new and retaining existing businesses.
• We provide IFN with numerous “last mile” fiber connections and provide space in our NOC.
“Our partnership with Parallax Systems is a good example on how IFN provides client Customer Provided Access to carriers and communication providers. Since IFN has interconnections with all the leading carriers, this provides significant cost savings for the customer,” said August Zehner, IFN Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Customer Provided Access allows the customer to decide which provider will deliver carrier services to their location.”
