DRAPER, Utah - August 8, 2007 - Telarus, Inc., premier telecom master agent and patent holder of real-time carrier quotes, today announced the launch of a new
marketing web site that focuses on businesses looking for fast (100 mbps) and
gigabit (1 gbps) Ethernet broadband availability: www.ShopforEthernet.com. The
web site, powered by GeoQuote and Google maps, enables the general public to
search for lit buildings where broadband carriers have a physical presence.
The results are displayed on a dynamically generated map for easy viewing.
"We are very excited about the launch of ShopforEthernet.com," commented
Adam Edwards, president of Telarus. "Giving the public visibility into the
location of telecommunications equipment is a major advance in this industry,
which has traditionally kept this information very close to the vest."
Finding "lit" buildings where Ethernet broadband is available is very
important to larger companies with high bandwidth requirements. By plugging
in directly to a telecommunications carrier via Ethernet, customers helps avoid the
expensive loop charges assessed by the local phone company.
Speeds up to 10 gigabits per second are possible using Ethernet technology,
with plans to increase that to 40 gbps. According to Infonetics Research, the
market for managed Ethernet services is expected to grow by 30% per year until
2010, when it will top $25 billion worldwide.
"Ethernet is the future of commercial broadband," added Lance Akins, VP of
Sales for Telarus. "Helping our agents find the buildings where coveted Ethernet
services are available is our primary goal. It benefits the users and carriers
together, since the cost per meg is lower to the end user, and the margin is
much higher for the service provider - all without the local Bell in the middle
of the relationship."
It is anticipated that the information Telarus' Ethernet broadband lookup tool
provides will be of great help for people looking to:
- move into a building with existing carrier facilities.
- substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.
- establish a direct relationship with a provider without the local Bell in the equation.
- find a carrier who provides QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees.
- gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.
The initial roster of service providers who have supplied the information necessary
for inclusion in the GeoQuote Ethernet tool include Cavalier, Telnes, Level3, MegaPath,
Time Warner Telecom, and XO Communications. To protect the proprietary and trade
secret information provided by these carriers, the GeoQuote Ethernet lookup tool
runs in "carrier agnostic mode" on the public www.ShopforEthernet.com web site. This
means that no carrier Lit Building information is accessible to the general public
at any time. However, the authorized Telarus sales agent who ends up working with
prospects (who enter their information into the web site) have total access to carrier
data. This enables agents to drastically shorten the time it takes to research carrier
offerings, not to mention reducing the amount of wasted time carriers spend researching
opportunities that just don't exist.
"It took our team of programmers and research staff a significant amount of time to
pull this project together," commented Andrew Morgan, VP of Web Development. "Judging
from the attention this tool will surely bring Telarus and the emerging technologies
of fast (100 mbps) and gigabit (1 gbps) Ethernet broadband, I'd say the investment
will yield huge dividends to our agents and carriers."
"We believe Ethernet is the future of commercial broadband and are excited to be in a
position where we can help our carriers determine where to best spend their build-out
dollars, since we'll know where the demand is" concluded Mr. Edwards.
If you are interested in becoming a Telarus agent and gaining access to GeoQuote, please contact Justin Chugg at (877) 346-3232 for more information.
