…new fiber provides ultra high speed connections
HOUSTON (April 29, 2010): Alpheus Communications, L.P., the largest privately held fiber network in Texas, announced today that it has added five major Houston healthcare facilities to its footprint. All of these new points-of-presence are in and around the Texas Medical Center ™ serving both inpatient and outpatient patient populations. These new on-network locations are consistent with the strategic direction Alpheus has pursued to target healthcare as an industry that can benefit from low-latency, high bandwidth connections. “Telemedicine and Electronic Medical Records get the most press, but collaborative research efforts and storage requirements for terabytes of genomic scale images are also heavy bandwidth users for medical institutions. Alpheus is pleased to be part of the solution,” said Gary Bartkus, Vice President of Enterprise Sales & Marketing at Alpheus.
