Infrastructure

Our services are based upon the proven technology of the Aastra (previously Nortel) CVX 1800 high-performance carrier-class access switches. These units provide up to 2688 ports per shelf and acheive in excess of 98.5% connection success.

Calls are routed to CVX ports in a round-robin distribution so that switches are loaded evenly. After clear down of a call, the port is removed from
service and undergoes a self-test before being returned to the available pool. This ensures the highest possible reliability of service.

Our datacentres are interconnected via dual redundant dark-fibre network rings and maintain connectivity to the internet via a minimum of three
distinct paths via a minimum of three different Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers at all times. We also maintain peering agreements which ensure low hop counts to our networks from around the world.

A combination of the CVX's ability to provide sustained 100% throughput and our internet bandwith capabilities mean that we are able to provide a truly
'uncontended' internet connection. Each dial-up user gets the maximum possible bandwidth from their connection, even at peak times; this makes our service the best available.
