ACC BUSINESS PLUGS INTO PUERTO RICO, PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL SERVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – ACC Business will make tapping into business-class broadband easy for Puerto Rico by offering its capabilities internationally for the first time. Part of the AT&T Worldwide Intelligence Network, ACC Business is expanding beyond the U.S. because it saw an increased need for this technology.

"As our customers with a presence in Puerto Rico have asked us how we can connect them with their U.S.-based facilities, we’ve been listening,” said John Baker, president and CEO of ACC Business. “We offer services that people from all over the world could benefit from, and now we have the opportunity to share this with Puerto Rico’s growing business economy."

ACC Business will provide Managed Internet Services (MIS) and Private Network Transport (PNT) capabilities, assisting the broadband needs of both small and large businesses and operations in Puerto Rico. MIS and PNT services enable business critical applications such as VOIP and video streaming, run on a closed network, and allow businesses to prioritize traffic.

The international venture will also serve domestic needs for companies with Puerto Rican branches. Miami-based companies, for example, can easily take advantage of the PNT on an IP base, making international business run smoother.

"It is great to see these businesses grow and know ACC Business will contribute to their success. Hopefully this trend will continue, and our international base will do as well as our domestic core," said Baker.
