End-to-End Data Network Solutions
As one of the nation's most significant communications infrastructure projects this decade, ACS linked Alaska to the nation with the Alaska Oregon Network (AKORN), a high-performance undersea fiber-optic cable, designed to connect customers to global broadband networks. This build is complementary and synergistic with ACS' purchase of Crest Communications, owner and operator of the WCI Northstar cable, also connecting Alaska to the contiguous united states. When used in combination, ACS carries and manages our customers' traffic across these two uniquely diverse routes - delivering security and reliability along the way. Beyond this secure and reliable submarine transport, ACS provides traffic monitoring and management via Network Operations Centers (NOC) and staff in both Alaska and the contiguous united states. The inclusion of staff in both Alaska and the nation offers greater security measures and added protection to your network.

ACS is the only carrier in Alaska to offer Metro Ethernet and MPLS networks from the North Slope to Kodiak; these services amplify the value of your network and work seamlessly with submarine transport to the nation and beyond. Using a simple Ethernet connection, ACS Metro Ethernet allows you to link multi-city locations together as if they were the same office. Metro Ethernet gives you high-speed, Layer 2 network connectivity that is cost effective and scalable to meet your business' individual needs. ACS multi-protocol label switching provides a more efficient way for your network to manage applications and move information between locations. ACS MPLS creates a fully meshed, any-to-any VPN and a flexible quality of service (QoS) to meet your increasing demands for IP-based content delivery. With ACS MPLS, you can converge all of your communications onto a single network to increase reliability and reduce your total cost of ownership.
