What:                   

The HADC is working to provide our members and businesses in the Hartford area with the best options for data providers (i.e. fast internet connectivity) and voice (i.e. VOIP). 

We have recently been working with a couple of our members, Ontech Systems and Signicast, to research and find out more information.  As a group, we have reached out to various Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and have been presented with a few options. 

It is my understanding that currently there are only two firms in the Dodge Industrial Park that have fiber optic connectivity:  API Healthcare and Quad Graphics and they are both supplied by AT&T.  

Last week, we met with Norlight, Charter and PAETEC to determine what else is currently available and alternatives for 2011.

We would like to reach out to you, our business leaders, to attend a group meeting at Signicast to discuss your wants / needs and potential opportunities.

Why:                    

Our goal will be to provide current and future businesses in the area with the technology they need for now, and also for the future.

Who:               Business Owners

Chief Executive Officers

Chief Operational Officers

Chief Information Officers

Telecom Team Leaders
