The Challenge
Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Sunrise Communications is currently the second largest telecommunications provider in Switzerland. Their activities include a variety of landline, mobile, and internet services. Sunrise recently launched a mobile subscription with fixed rates (flat rates) and the first nationwide mobile subscription without a phone subsidy. They also introduced the first pre-paid flat rate on the Swiss market.
The Solution
After taking into account many diverse data center options throughout the New York metro area, Sunrise Communications found what they were looking for in TELEHOUSE. The TELEHOUSE team provided Sunrise with a unique opportunity. They could utilize Global Interlink, and take advantage of the many benefits of using TELEHOUSE's New York International Internet Exchange (NYIIX) public peering platform, New York's longest running and largest public Internet exchange point.
Sunrise Communications formed a strong bond with the TELEHOUSE America team. TELEHOUSE ensured there were no limits when it came to expanding Sunrise’s business, and they made it possible for them to effortlessly gain connectivity across Switzerland. The debut of the IX Anywhere service, offering up to 1Gbps global Ethernet transport solutions to the world’s largest international Internet eXchange Points (IXP), was an immense help to Sunrise when continuing with their legacy of providing great service.
The Results
Sunrise made their decision about TELEHOUSE based on unbeatable prices, the lowest amount of round trip delays, and the availability of the TELEHOUSE staff. They were able to use one carrier to supply everything they needed as well as attain the in house cabling they were looking for. They truly got the “total solution” by choosing TELEHOUSE.
Patrick Heeb, account and purchasing manager stated, “I would work with TELEHOUSE again in the future and would give them the highest accolades. TELEHOUSE fulfilled all of my requirements and more”. Sunrise needed to be connected at specific main points, and some of their requirements included sea cables and the Waves. The convenience of connecting to NYIIX from London was a huge differentiator for Sunrise Communications.
Overall, Sunrise’s data communications and operations are well supported by TELEHOUSE America. Smart data center engineering and exceptional support has contributed to the many reasons why Sunrise Communications will continue to strengthen their relationship with TELEHOUSE.
