BWNG Broadwing

Broadwing Communications, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of Broadwing Corporation (NASDAQ:BWNG), today announced that SEKO Worldwide Inc., a global freight transportation and logistics provider, has chosen Broadwing to provide a comprehensive suite of business-critical communications services that include a corporate MPLS virtual private network (VPN) with Internet access, collocation facilities and remote data protection for disaster recovery. SEKO is replacing its legacy 46-node frame relay network with Broadwing's Converged Network Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network solution. Broadwing's solution provides robust any-to-any connectivity, comprehensive service interworking and flexible Quality of Service (QoS) with guaranteed performance -- all of which create an application delivery network immediately enabling critical applications of data security, storage and disaster recovery, and set the foundation for many enterprise applications, including Voice and Video over IP. "Moving from a traditional frame relay network to a new MPLS network requires working with a service provider you can trust and we believe Broadwing really listened to us to understand our needs," said Tom Mazdy, Chief Information Officer at SEKO Worldwide. "Broadwing's excellent support team, paired with its agility and innovative technical solutions, really put it ahead of the competition and enabled a smooth upgrade of our IT infrastructure." "By using the latest technology to make information easy to access, SEKO will continue to serve its customers with the best possible solutions," said Scott Widham, co-CEO of Broadwing. "We are proud to enable SEKO in their continued efforts to provide innovative, first-class transportation services." Customer wins like SEKO, Industry Retail Group and others are evidence of the adoption of Broadwing's unique converged L2 VPLS and L3 MPLS networking solution. The customer-driven growth of Broadwing's Converged network and strategic agreements with complementary suppliers including Hutchison Global Communications and Global Crossing continues to illustrate the execution of Broadwing's strategic vision of true telecom utility.
