01.30.2002 - Synergy Networks Adds Second Fiber Route

Ft. Myers, FL (Jan. 29, 2002) - Synergy Networks, a regionally based Internet service provider, has further expanded their network capacity by installing a second redundant fiber route into their building in Ft. Myers. This addition makes Synergy Networks one of a hand full of companies in South Florida with two separate redundant fiber routes.

"Businesses are relying more heavily on the Internet now more than ever before for basic communications and networking," said Peter Seif, president of Synergy Networks. "This expansion has enabled us to provide our clients with more capacity and reliability for their networks."

By doubling their backbone capacity and redundancy through two separate fiber routes, Seif said Synergy Networks is providing even more protection for their 1,000 plus clients.

"With two separate backbone connections to the Internet on two separate fiber routes, if anything ever happened to one network , the other fiber route would keep our clients' internet connections and web sites up and running without any interruption in service," he said. "The tragedies of September 11 showed us how quickly the public's Internet presence can increase. We saw a 25 percent increase in e-mail messaging and bandwidth utilization after those events and such occurrences showed us that businesses need to review their bandwidth capacity to handle a sudden increase, as many of our clients have already done."

Millions of new people are signing up for Internet service every year. According to eMarketer, a leading provider of ebusiness statistics, the number of internet users worldwide will jump almost 60 percent, from 445.9 million to 709.1 million by 2004.

Synergy Networks is a leader in business-class Internet solutions and is one of Florida's fastest growing internet service providers. The company provides Broadband Internet access, web hosting, web design and e-commerce solutions.

Synergy Networks is regionally based in Southwest Florida, with offices in Fort Myers, Ft Lauderdale, Melbourne and Sarasota. Synergy Networks is also in the process of expanding to locations in the northeast and central areas of the state, as well as the southeastern United States.
