										IP Is Our Sole 
										Network FocusUnlike traditional voice communications 
										companies that rely on legacy 
										technology, our robust, flexible network 
										uses only the latest and best 
										technologies, handpicked by NTT, AT&T, 
										GLOBAL CROSSING, LEVEL 3, ALLEGIANCE, 
										TIME-WARNER TELECOM, SAVVIS, COGENT and 
										ABOVENET engineers to provide 
										high-volume data transport at the 
										complete range of commercial-strength 
										bandwidths. Plus, the FTC network 
										carries data only--there are no voice 
										ride-alongs to clog traffic. Regular 
										upgrades keep our network, and our 
										customers, at the leading edge of 
										dynamic Internet connectivity.
 
										
										Built-in 
										RedundanciesThe FTC Global Tier One Network is your 
										seamless connection to the world. The 
										network features densely meshed paths 
										between most major network points, both 
										domestically and internationally.
 From the beginning, we took redundancy 
										very seriously, building at least two 
										connections, each from a different 
										carrier, at many of the major points in 
										the network. Because we work with a 
										diverse portfolio of carriers, our 
										network is not reliant on one vendor in 
										the event of an outage. These geographic 
										and carrier redundancies ensure that 
										your data will keep moving, even if a 
										link fails.
 Our Global Tier One Network has 
										multiple, highly secure carrier-class 
										Points Of Presence. Plus, due to our 
										extensive private peering relationships 
										our customers' data is able to bypass 
										the congestion of the public Internet 
										and get to its destination fast.
 
										
										Superior 
										Network SupportFTC has 24/7/365 network monitoring at 
										our state-of-the-art Network Operations 
										Centers (NOC) which provides real-time 
										alarming, forecasting, traffic 
										management, event notification, upgrades 
										and service level agreements. The NOC 
										also furnishes real-time network status 
										reports to FTC Customer Care, enabling 
										fast, highly responsive, single 
										point-of-contact problem resolution.
