FX Networks, New Zealand's leading independent supplier of high-speed data transport and internet services, has reselected Datacraft to complete their South Island fibre-optic roll-out.
(1888PressRelease) August 05, 2009 - Datacraft played an important role in FX Networks North Island fibre optic roll-out which was completed in January 2009. Datacraft provided design, build, support and specialist project services as well as the supply of Cisco infrastructure. Datacraft will replicate the design that has proven successful in the North Island.
FX Networks fibre optic 'backbone' network throughout the North Island is the fastest independent intercity pipeline in New Zealand capable of speeds up to 10Gpbs. The completion of the South Island project in June 2009 will extend FX Networks reach and allow them to service their national clientele to encompass both the North and South Islands.
Datacraft's specialist expertise and experience was proven in the successful and timely completion of the diverse backbone installation in the North Island. The North Island project cost US$14.4 million to complete. The South Island project will cost around US$7.8million. It is critical that we have a strategic partner who understands what we are trying to do and has proven capability. I see Datacraft as a safe pair of hands. said Murray Jurgeleit, Managing Director, FX Networks.
FX Networks have a simple value proposition for New Zealand businesses - faster, more reliable networking at the best prices in the industry -- we got that! said Robin Hartendorp, Managing Director, Datacraft New Zealand.

We support the government's commitment to invest in broadband in 25 cities and towns.
