FTC's Premier Internet Backbones
The FTC Global Tier One
Network: Fast, Efficient and
Accurate Data Transport |
The powerfully built,
flexible FTC Global Tier One
Network uses the best, most
up-to-date technologies to
provide fast, efficient and
accurate data transport. Our
Network was designed and
built by NTT, AT&T, GLOBAL
CROSSING, LEVEL 3,
ALLEGIANCE, TIME-WARNER
TELECOM, SAVVIS, COGENT and
ABOVENET engineers for one
purpose: to move Internet
traffic-fast. FTC now
provides you with more than
120 gigabits per second,
with unparalleled redundancy
and network security.
With more direct paths,
routing options, and private
peering points, FTC speeds
your data to its destination
with fewer hops, less packet
loss and fewer delays. You
get guaranteed high
performance, plus 24/7/365
network monitoring by our
state-of-the-art Network
Operations Centers (NOC)-all
backed by the strength of
trusted and stable industry
leaders.
Our network features state
of the art router
technology. So, whether
you're an Internet Service
Provider serving several
regions or simply need to
support multiple users
across a LAN, as long as
your data is traveling on
the FTC Global Tier One
Network, you'll have the
performance and reliability
you need to keep your
business moving. |
Our
Innovative, Best-of-Class Technology
has Been Recognized Around the World
NTT Communications, a primary
provider for FTC, recently won the
Best Technology Foresight Award for
pioneering new technologies. From
180 entries of leading global
carriers and vendors worldwide, NTT
Communications was selected the
winner by an independent panel of 12
judges from around the world. This
award is a testament to FTC’s
commitment to use only best-of-class
solutions providers for our
customers.
IP Is Our Sole
Network Focus
Unlike 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
Redundancies
The 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 Support
FTC 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.
