TORONTO – Acronym Solutions Inc. (previously Hydro One Telecom), announced today it is extending its high-speed fibre-optic network into York Region.
Acronym is a full-service information and communications technology company that supports Ontario-based businesses, healthcare providers, public sector organizations and more.
The York Region expansion “will help meet the demand for faster Internet speeds and greater network capacity and extend the reach of its value-added solutions to support the region’s growing business marketplace,” a press release says.
“With download speeds of up to 100 Gbps, 24/7/365 support, and a network that spans more than 8,700km across Ontario, businesses in York Region can now access secure and reliable Internet connectivity, along with value-added solutions such as DDoS Shield, Secure SD-WAN, and Network Operations and Field Operations as a Service.”
“We’re excited to bring high-performing connectivity to businesses in York Region,” says John Papadakis, president and CEO of Acronym, in the press release.
“Everyone wins when you provide customers with more choice. It’s part of our customer-first approach. As Acronym expands into other markets across the province, we will continue to invest in our network and roll out even more fully managed solutions to support the information and communications technology needs of our customers.”
It is unclear whether the network expansion will put Acronym in competition with YorkNet, which is owned and operated by York Region. Acronym has yet to respond to Cartt.ca’s request for more information.
