New Edge Networks Breaks Price Barrier on Managed VPN Services
VANCOUVER, Wash. – (April 6, 2004) – In response to growing demand for Internet-based managed private networks, New Edge Networks has developed a multi-site product with a disruptive price of $99 a month for any site within its broadband reach throughout the country.
A national provider of multi-site managed networks and Internet access, New Edge Networks will provide its IP-based managed VPN service using digital subscriber line, or DSL, technology. Coverage includes locations within service areas of all regional bell operating companies, large independent markets, and hundreds of small and midsize cities where DSL is available.
Managed IP-based virtual private networks typically cost businesses in excess of $150 a month, per site, plus equipment and installation. What’s more, customers bear the cost and complexity of managing multiple carriers or integrating secure solutions themselves.
New Edge Networks’ managed VPN solution includes built-in security, automatic trouble reporting, and performance reports for each site. A facilities-based service provider, New Edge Networks provisions connections nationally and provides customers a single bill. The $99 monthly fee per site includes use of the customer premises equipment after a one-time installation fee.
“New Edge Networks is leveraging its nationwide reach, proprietary network management capabilities, and overall lower network cost structure to offer break-through pricing,” said Dan Moffat, president and CEO of New Edge Networks. “Our $99 managed VPN solution is our version of the 99 cents value meal that revolutionized the fast-food industry.”
“Business customers want private broadband networks with high speed, security, and availability to handle the increasing flow of information among their remote locations and mobile workers,” Moffat said. “They can use their multi-site broadband network to centralize all their business applications, point of sale transactions, e-mail, and Internet access.”
