Hawaiian Telcom Fires Up Hawai'i's Fastest Internet
2014年2月25日 - 10:00PM
Fueled by its rapidly expanding next-generation fiber network,
today, Hawaiian Telcom (Nasdaq:HCOM) announced Hawaiʻi's fastest
Internet, featuring speeds of up to 500 megabits per second (Mbps)
download and 50 Mbps upload. Hawaiian Telcom's new speeds are
exponentially higher than anything currently available in the local
market.
"Hawaiian Telcom's expansive deployment of fiber optic
technology is connecting Hawaiʻi to the world with speeds never
before seen in the islands," said Eric K. Yeaman, Hawaiian Telcom's
president and CEO. "We've invested $125 million in our
next-generation fiber network and systems and there is more to
come. As a committed local company with deep roots in the islands,
Hawaiian Telcom is dedicated to meeting Hawaiʻi's bandwidth needs
today and into the future."
Beginning on March 2, many Oʻahu consumers will be able
to sign up for broadband speed tiers of 100, 300 and 500 Mbps,
with even higher speeds available to businesses. Hawaiian Telcom
will continue investing in its next-generation fiber network,
expanding its reach every day.
Consumer demand for more bandwidth has exploded in recent years
with the rapid adoption of connected devices, such as smartphones,
tablets, gaming consoles and Web-enabled TVs. According to a
November 2013 study conducted by Cisco Systems Inc., the average
U.S. household owns nine Internet-connected devices.
Businesses' need for higher Internet speeds has also increased
as more companies flock to the cloud to lower IT costs, ensure
business continuity and enable access to their systems from
anywhere, anytime, on any device. They are also utilizing more
demanding applications that require higher bandwidth.
Hawaiian Telcom's next-generation fiber network enables
Hawaiʻi's fastest upload and download speeds, streaming of
high-definition content and a superior experience with services
such as video-conferencing and hosted applications.
With 500/50 Mbps (Download/Upload) speeds, customers can:
- Download a 2 gigabyte high-definition video in less than 35
seconds compared to three minutes on 100/5 Mbps speed.
- Upload a 1 gigabyte file to the cloud in less than three
minutes compared to 28 minutes on 100/5 Mbps speed.
"In today's homes and offices, many devices and
bandwidth-intense applications – streaming high-definition video,
online gaming, and social networking -- are utilized
simultaneously," said Yeaman. "With Hawaiian Telcom High-Speed
Internet, our customers enjoy next-generation broadband access,
opening up a whole new world of benefits and choices."
Hawaiian Telcom High-Speed Internet packages come with a
wireless networking gateway, comprehensive Internet security
software and access to local 24/7 technical support.
