Five Reasons Why You'll Love 1Velocity

Nearly all telecommunications carriers use a ground-based infrastructure. 1Velocity is different.

Metro Ethernet and Internet over Millimeter-wave

Unlike other carriers, 1Velocity shares no infrastructure with the phone and cable companies. We completely bypass the trenches and poles other carriers share because we've built our own self-healing metro Ethernet ring on rooftops around the valley. That means we can do things no other carrier can.

1. Maximize Uptime and Continuity

Fiber CutNeed two connections or more for redundancy? One of them should be 1Velocity.

Enterprises often get multiple physically separate connections to maximize uptime. All carriers have outages (including 1Velocity), so it's important to have two carriers who will not go down at the same time.

But connections from different carriers are often in the same right-of-way. Even lines coming into two different sides of the building on two different paths may eventually meet up in the same trench.

We've had one too many experiences where our primary and our backup Internet connections were both down at the same time. Two years ago, we brought in 1Velocity. They are completely diverse from any other carrier.

What has surprised us is it that 1Velocity's wireless fiber has been more reliable than our ground fiber carrier. 1Velocity has performed very well, and I would highly recommend them.”

2. Get Bigger Connections without Fiber Build-outs

Bringing fiber down the street can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe that's why four out of five commercial buildings in the U.S. do not have fiber. But if you wanted a connection bigger than T1s can provide, you used to need fiber. Not anymore.

1Velocity can deliver up to 1 Gbps of bandwidth to anywhere with line-of-sight to the 1Velocity ring. With over one hundred locations served by 1Velocity in Las Vegas, chances are we can serve you. But we'll do a free site walk just to make sure.

Connect Locations without Fiber
A local healthcare group had seven locations around the valley near all the hospitals. Some had fiber-optic connectivity; some didn't.

All the locations needed to be on the same private network and have Internet, but T1s were insufficient for their growing data traffic. Bringing in fiber would have cost nearly $100,000, but with 1Velocity they were able to triple their bandwidth for about the same cost as their T1 network.

If you have bonded T1s, we can upgrade you to 8 Mbps (up and down) within 30 days for about the same price.

“As we explored increasing the size of our Internet connection, we learned that our existing carrier could not increase our circuit size without significant costs and trenching. Our solution was to utilize new technology from 1Velocity.

1Velocity was able to bring a 10 Mbps connection to our facility that has dramatically improved our productivity, and did it in less time that it would have taken to provision a wired fiber solution.

As we continue to grow our business, it's easy to see we will continue to need an even faster Internet connection. With 1Velocity, we have the option to add to our bandwidth with just a call, and they will increase our circuit immediately.

We are pleased with the installation and support, and especially the speed of our Internet connection.”

3. Rapid Installation: Up to 1 Gbps Internet in Days

Sometimes you need a connection fast. Fiber build-outs often take months to complete. Whether it's for a special event or a new office, 1Velocity can deliver your high-bandwidth connection fast. Our standard install is 30 days, but we've been known to do it in less than a week with an expedite fee.

National Company Gets Internet for New Office
When a national company built a new office in Las Vegas, they ordered a fiber line from the phone company to their national MPLS. Five days before move-in, the fiber build-out was still not completed.

Without a data connection, the company could not open their new office and would have to pay another quarter million dollars in rent at the old office. 1Velocity installed a 10 Mbps Internet connection in four days, and they opened on time.

4. Pure Ethernet: Sub-millisecond latency, No oversubscription, and Layer 1 hand-off

Setup VLANs, run QoS, and have the piece-of-mind that you will always have your full bandwidth no how much traffic is on the network. Since we have no legacy infrastructure, we deliver Layer 1 Ethernet with zero hops between locations and latency across town that is less than a millisecond.

“The value for the circuits we get is better than any option available in Las Vegas. We like the fact that 1Velocity doesn’t oversubscribe their backhaul circuits and their speeds are incredible.”

5. 24/7/365 Local Support

We own our network. We do our own support. Chances are when you call, you will reach the engineer who configured your connection. Plus, when you order a 1Velocity connection, you get an escalation list that goes from the support line, through the managers, all the way to the CEO's cell phone. If you have a problem, we want you to get a real person on the line. And we will dispatch techs if needed, no matter what time it is.
