CapRock selects Alpheus for terrestrial connectivity requirements

HOUSTON, USA: CapRock Communications, a leading provider of satellite communications to harsh and remote environments, today announced it has selected Alpheus Communications’ complete suite of terrestrial connectivity services.

CapRock will leverage Alpheus’ SAS 70 Type II Audited Certified data centers and deep metro fiber footprint to provide reliable circuit access and supporting services to its clients.

“Our customers have voice and data traffic that needs to be transported to different points across the globe,” said CapRock CEO Peter Shaper. “We needed a partner that could not only support our Houston operations with a proven data center and extensive fiber optic network, but could also accommodate our worldwide requirements. This is where we see Alpheus excel. Alpheus is provider agnostic and manages connectivity to other providers seamlessly, delivering a true end-to-end service.”

Under the terms of the agreement, CapRock will leverage Alpheus’ connectivity, redundancy, colocation and interconnection services for all of its Houston teleport circuits and international connectivity. Previously, these services were provided by Alpheus as well as other providers.

“We’ve seen first-hand how responsive Alpheus is to our service requirements,” said CapRock COO Doug Tutt. “Our customers operate day and night and in different time zones so it’s important that our partners can also support us around the clock. With Alpheus’ 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC), we’ve always been able to speak with a knowledgeable expert when we need to.”

“Since 2005, we have built a strong partnership with CapRock,” said Paul Hobby, CEO of Alpheus Communications. “Wireless satellite communications and terrestrial fiber networks need each other to serve customers, so this is an excellent partnership. We are proud to have been selected by CapRock.”
