September 20, 2006
September 20, 2006 (Vancouver, BC) – Radiant Communications Corp. ("Radiant") (TSX Venture Exchange: RCN), a Canadian provider of Business Internet services, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with MTS Allstream Inc. (“MTS Allstream”), one of Canada’s leading national communication solutions providers, to extend Radiant's reach and broadband offering to the Canadian business market.
Under the terms of the agreement, Radiant will utilize MTS Allstream’s national network to offer T1 and Ethernet-based broadband enhanced connectivity services in more cities throughout Canada. These enhanced connectivity services deliver more upstream bandwidth than traditional ADSL connections, enabling companies to better manage mission critical databases, large file transfers, secure financial transactions and other complex IP applications.
"Through our partnership with MTS Allstream, Radiant is now even better positioned to serve multi-location businesses with this expanded offering of high throughput services that are frequently required at head office sites and in large branches,” said David Buffett, President and CEO of Radiant. “In addition, Radiant can now offer our customers a broadband solution in areas where DSL is simply not available.”
“Both our companies share a commitment to providing quality products and leading communications solutions to our customers, and we are very pleased that this partnership will enable Radiant to expand its range of services and continue to grow its business,” said John MacDonald, President, Enterprise Solutions, MTS Allstream. “In addition, our partnership with Radiant further strengthens MTS Allstream’s position as a leading national IP communications provider.”
