Provides reliable, dedicated Internet access and transport with Transmode installation.

Layer42, a Californian network and services company, today announced that it has improved its network and quality of services following an installation of equipment from Transmode, a provider of optical networking solutions. The company says that it provides co-location, managed services and internet services to businesses and organizations throughout the state of California, from its base in Santa Clara.

The company articulates that it offers a range of Internet connectivity and web hosting services for businesses in every stage of development. Its hardware and software solutions offer businesses of all sizes access to a carrier-grade, fully redundant network. The installation of the Transmode TM-Series equipment was made as direct result of a need for higher bandwidth initially across the fiber network connecting San Francisco with San Jose. The TM-Series was selected as it offered a low initial cost point, while still providing the modularity and high capacity for future expansions, it avers.

"Layer42's goal is to deliver the highest-rated level of Internet services and applications to businesses and organizations throughout California", said Steve Rubin, the company's President. "These include reliable, dedicated Internet access and transport, cost-effective web hosting and co-location solutions, network security solutions to protect valuable data, IT outsourcing solutions that address a wide-range of needs and superior customer support."

"The installation of Transmode's TM Series equipment enables us to meet the bandwidth needs of our customers in our increasingly busy San Francisco to San Jose connection. The fact that the Transmode's system allow us to expand in a modular way was one of the major factors in our choice of this supplier."

"Transmode is pleased to be the key supplier and adviser for Layer 42's expansion in the Californian marketplace," said Johan Hammarström, Regional Sales Director North America. "This growth is validation of both Layer 42's business model and of Transmode as their optical networking supplier. With our dedicated North American team and our characteristic consultative sales approach we are in a very strong position to meet the needs of growing US and Canadian communications companies."
