Trent Trahan, chief executive officer of
\nPrimeLink, said the first phase of the company’s
\nexpansion of service in Saratoga Springs is
\ncomplete and expansion will continue throughout
\n2015.<\/p>\n
PrimeLink provides customers with high speed
\ninternet access, voice solutions, and
\nhosted and traditional phone systems. All
\nservices are brought to the end user with a
\n100 percent fiber optic network, Trahan said.<\/p>\n
“This availability of fiber optic technology
\nwill provide Saratoga with the most advanced
\ntransport medium available in digital communications
\nand provide a more competitive
\nenvironment for business customers seeking
\naffordable high quality communication services,”
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
PrimeLink, a subsidiary of the 112-year-old
\nChamplain Telephone Co., began its work in
\n1997 with the establishment of a 242-mile fiber
\noptic backbone from Albany to Montreal. This
\n$40 million private investment represented
\nthe first network backbone of its kind in the
\nChamplain Valley, according to the company.<\/p>\n
Trahan said PrimeLink’s goal from the beginning
\nwas to enhance the economics of the area
\nand improve the quality of life and business
\nclimate in the communities it serves. Fiberoptic
\ncommunication represents the future of
\ndigital communications.<\/p>\n
“It is a method of transmitting information
\nfrom one place to another by sending pulses of
\nlight through an optical fiber. The light forms an
\nelectromagnetic carrier wave that is adapted
\nto carry information,” he said.
\n“There is no end in sight as to the amount
\nof bandwidth that is possible over fiber cables
\nwhich makes it poised to prepare the Adirondacks
\nfor the communication needs of the
\nfuture.”<\/p>\n
PrimeLink President and General Manager
\nGreg MacConnell on average PrimeLink is able
\nto save business customers up to 20-30 percent
\non a communications budget.<\/p>\n
