Limelight Networks Selects ADTRAN NetVanta Routers for Nationwide T1 Service
Leading IP Delivery Provider Uses ADTRAN Routers to Lower Customers'
Connection Costs
PHOENIX, July 10, 2003 -- Phoenix-based Limelight Networks, the Internet
Delivery Experts, have selected the NetVanta 3000 Series of access
routers from ADTRAN (Nasdaq: ADTN) as the key element of its nationwide
Tier-1 connection service. Implementing NetVanta routers as part of
Limelight Networks' industry-leading IP architecture saves customers
over 50 percent on vital Internet connections.
"NetVanta 3000 Series routers are a critical component of our unique
architecture," said Nathan Raciborski, co-founder of Limelight Networks.
"ADTRAN routers offered us the features and compatibility we needed at a
lower price point than other vendors. When you combine price and
functionality with ADTRAN's reputation for quality and unmatched service
and support -- there is no better selection."
Limelight Networks has emerged as the price/performance leader across a
full range of IP delivery services. This remarkable pricing for IP
connectivity is based on an efficient network architecture, strategic
relationships with Tier-1 carriers, and high-volume content delivery
(CDN) services that gives the company significant bandwidth buying
power. The combination creates savings opportunities for enterprise
customers who simply need bandwidth. The nationwide Tier-1 transit
service, marketed as BackBone Connect, offers businesses the benefits of
high quality connectivity at the lowest industry pricing on services
ranging from T-1s to OC-192s. As an example, Limelight Networks is
offering T-1 services in the Phoenix metro area as low as $129. BackBone
Connect leverages one of the most extensive IP-based networks with reach
to over 200 major cities and 100,000-plus miles of secure fiber-optic
routing along with the industry's best optical networking equipment.
