| 1996 |
ACS was one of the first in the nation to deploy Metro Ethernet technology. We continue to invest and now have a 10G fully meshed core. One of our most successful products for over a decade, Metro Ethernet has become the industry standard for the L49. More than 10 years later, our competitors still don't have a comparable network. |
| 2002 |
ACS was the first provider to deploy a statewide MPLS solution. Our competitors continue to sell legacy technologies - Frame Relay, Private Line or Internet based VPN service. |
| 2004 |
ACS was the first company in the United States to complete the deployment of a 3G high-speed wireless network clear across Alaska, bringing service from the North Slope to Kenai. ACS continues to expand its footprint and capabilities. |
| 2008 |
ACS invested $175 million to connect Alaska to the Lower 48 via two fiber-optic cables: the most advanced fiber-optic cable to be built in Alaska, AKORN, and the acquisition of the Northstar cable. The Northstar cable complements AKORN with Southeast Alaska connectivity and a redundant path to the Lower 48, all to be managed via two geographically diverse Network Operation Control Centers. |
