Meat processor gets real-time access to data, competitive edge from MPLS network
VANCOUVER, Wash. – (Nov. 6, 2007) – New Edge Networks said it received a multi-year contract to provide managed network services to Superior Farms, one of the nation's largest lamb processors that supplies retail and food service industries.

Action could spark increased demand, profits; avoid customer backlash
DALLAS – (Oct. 12, 2007) – The top executive of New Edge Networks Thursday afternoon called on the telecommunications industry to improve service level guarantees that could lead to increased business demand and profits.
Speaking at the 2007 TelephonyLive Telecom Summit in Dallas, Linda Beck, president of New Edge Networks, the business services unit of EarthLink Inc., (NASDAQ: ELNK), also challenged the telecom industry to develop new services for filling a price gap between digital subscriber line, or DSL, and high-speed T1 connections used for wide area networks.
“With improved service level agreements (or SLAs), small and midsize businesses are more likely to add new business applications and increase their bandwidth requirements more quickly moving to T1 MPLS networks,” Beck said to an audience of telecom industry executives during her closing keynote remarks.
“Today, many SMBs are deferring these decisions because they cannot justify the expenses for T1 connections,” Beck said. “The gap between DSL and T1 pricing is too big.”
Currently, most communications carriers guarantee repairs on business DSL lines within 24 or 48 hours. The guaranteed repair interval for more expensive T1 or frame relay connections is four hours. The monthly cost for a business DSL line is under $100 compared to about $400 or more for a T1 line.
“As businesses become more dependent on their DSL-based networks, current SLAs will give us a black eye,” Beck said. “This needs to change to avoid customer backlash and stimulate increased usage of DSL as a stepping stone to full T1-based networks.”
