Perseus Telecom Delivers High-Speed Network to Palladium Energy in the Amazon Rain Forest

NEW YORK, June 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Perseus Telecom, a global provider of telecommunications, announced today it has provided a high-speed connection to Palladium Energy in Manaus, Brazil located in the heart of Amazonia, the largest tropical rainforest on earth. Palladium Energy's Manaus manufacturing site was looking for a better connection to increase their productivity and Perseus Telecom stepped up to the challenge.

In their original search, Palladium Energy had bought an MPLS network from a top-tier carrier but endured poor performance, causing slow access and lost productivity. Palladium Energy then contacted BlackWire Consulting Group (BCG) to find a solution to their network troubles. "We thought the only viable solution was satellite, then BCG recommended Perseus Telecom. They have solved our problem and we now have a fast, stable and cost-efficient solution," says Todd Hawes, IT Director at Palladium Energy.

After several tests to determine the best network solution, BCG contacted Perseus Telecom because of their ability to provide global network solutions across multiple fiber asset providers. Perseus Telecom was able to offer Palladium 4X the amount of bandwidth than what they originally requested at a lower cost. Perseus and BCG managed the provisioning of the circuit and it was installed, tested and in use within 90 days. "We're delighted to provide Palladium Energy with a high-speed, reliable and cost-efficient solution into their Amazon site," says Dr. Jock Percy, CEO of Perseus Telecom.

Palladium Energy's new network now has dedicated bandwidth enabling them to run Citrix and Lifesize Video Conferencing and manage bandwidth-intensive CAD drawings. "Due to Perseus Telecom's improved network solution, Palladium Energy is now able to take advantage of new applications and productivity. At BlackWire we take pride in customer satisfaction," says Salvatore Orefiche, CEO of BCG.
