RICHMOND, VA – October 21, 2009 – Cavalier, a leading provider of competitive telecommunications services throughout the eastern United States, today announced it has been awarded the Internet services and data communications contract for the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP). Under the agreement, security cameras located within the HACP’s 26 housing developments will stream live video over Cavalier’s network to the HACP’s security command center, providing the communities with greater safety and security.

“The visual access that Cavalier enables will allow our locations to share surveillance images instantly, empowering our security guards and decreasing emergency response times,” said Will McDanel, procurement director, Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.

“The mesh network we designed for the HACP using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) provides exceptionally reliable connectivity for this critical application,” said Bryan Grimm, director of product management, Cavalier. The network will be provisioned using a combination of access technologies, including SONET and Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM). EFM technology provides the HACP with the flexibility to increase bandwidth quickly and in increments suitable for its unique needs while providing greater protection against individual loop outages.

In addition to these robust access services, Cavalier’s backbone is built on a self-healing architecture which delivers 99.99% network availability. Government entities are increasingly turning to Cavalier for the company’s expertise in delivering secure and flexible network solutions.

My first job as president and CEO of Cavalier was to elevate the customer. Cavalier is the sum of ten different companies through a series of acquisitions. This means Cavalier inherited ten different identities. A common company culture that positively focuses on the customer is paramount in order for a company to be successful.

Change takes nerve. Nerve involves risk. I ask all employees to practice and embrace what I call the ‘Own It’ principle. By owning it, all employees are not only empowered, but expected to be fully accountable for owning any customer interaction. This mindset and activity sets up a culture where organizational silos are broken down and the focus truly is on doing what is best for the customer.

One example of this ‘own it’ risk and reward is when our telesales manager received a misdirected call from a frustrated customer who wanted to cancel because he could not program our TV remote control. He quickly realized he could solve the problem so he left his desk, jumped in his car and drove to the customer’s house to program it for him. Simply by listening to the customer and taking action, he saved the customer in less than one hour and created an example for everyone to follow.

Prior to joining Cavalier, I spent two years in United Arab Emirates working for a pay TV company. Dubai is a fantastic melting pot of people from all over the world. One of the most interesting lessons learned was how the language and cultural differences impacted customer experience. Even with nearly 50 different nationalities working at the company, we struggled every day to meet customer expectations due to their diversity and our own. These differences were both our strength and weakness.

Cavalier focuses on what we do best and tries not to be all things to all people. And that alone takes a lot of collective nerve from an entire organization working together. Often, it is easier to overpromise or mislead to win customers, but by ‘owning it’ we all remember that we are part of the entire solution and accountable to and for the customer. Perhaps that sounds too simple, but it is rarely practiced to perfection, no matter where you are in the world.

ALAMEDA, CA, RICHMOND, VA — September 15, 2009 — In a move to leverage its fiber assets and deliver reliable voice over IP services, Cavalier, a leading provider of competitive telecommunications services throughout the eastern United States, selected MetaSwitch to transform its network architecture. With an initial focus on supporting the small and midsize business (SMB) market, Cavalier is leveraging its investment in MetaSwitch to launch hosted PBX and unified communications services under the “IPeer” brand.

“Investing in IP communications is a key element in our ability to respond to our customers’ needs. What really made the business case add up was the ability, with MetaSwitch, to deploy a single platform that would allow us to cap, and in some cases, replace our existing legacy switches and to introduce new services,” said Lou Sommi, senior vice president of marketing at Cavalier. “With our core IP communications platform from MetaSwitch in place, SMBs can enjoy new feature-rich communications while we reduce our costs for operations, administration and maintenance.”

Through this network evolution currently underway, Cavalier is able to use standards-based, IP-oriented infrastructure from MetaSwitch to bring to bear the latest in IP telephony and other feature-rich services in a proven hosted platform. Based on MetaSwitch technology, Cavalier is providing access to the IPeer Hosted PBX platform to SMB customers throughout its mid-Atlantic footprint, with plans to expand further. The MetaSphere Enhanced Application Server is deployed in a central data center and is complemented by nine MetaSwitch MG3510 media gateways deployed throughout the Cavalier service territory. This allows Cavalier’s business customers to have immediate access to new features and applications without the need to update any software or hardware on-site, avoiding the high capital expenditure of premises-based equipment.

Based on the MetaSphere application suite and CommPortal Web services, IPeer puts the customer in control with features that are particularly useful for remote workers who want to manage their calls and enable mobility while working outside of the office. SMBs will also benefit from unified messaging tools including the ability to click-to-dial right from Microsoft Outlook, access advanced voicemail features and manage fax, e-mail and call forwarding through a Web-based portal.

“MetaSwitch is helping carriers to deliver productivity-enhancing services for their subscribers,” said Graeme MacArthur, general manager of MetaSwitch’s Carrier Systems Division. “Our evolutionary approach allows Cavalier to expand the value of its network investment while also increasing revenues with its business customers.”

RICHMOND, VA — August 5, 2009 — Cavalier, a leading provider of competitive telecommunications services throughout the eastern United States, today announced that it has completed the addition of a Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) data center onto its Richmond area fiber optic network. The new connection enables a secure dedicated Internet access service for HCPS and powers the service provided to its 68 schools.

“Cavalier’s solution enables the school district to control expenses while doubling the capacity of the service provided to students, teachers and administration,” said Danny Bottoms, president and CEO of Cavalier. “Delivering this service to HCPS is especially satisfying since we are headquartered in the Richmond area and many of our employees have children in the school system.”

The new service employs a Gigabit Ethernet connection from the HCPS data center to Cavalier’s core metro network. Internet traffic is transported across Cavalier’s secure network using advanced wave division multiplexing technology. Maximum reliability is achieved with geographically diverse paths and equipment redundancy.

The connection to Cavalier’s network is “burstable” which means that HCPS selects a fixed amount of Internet bandwidth and can choose to exceed that threshold as needs dictate. This benefits HCPS because the district is only charged for the actual usage it needs as a baseline, yet has the flexibility to meet the changing needs of the schools.

“In choosing Cavalier, we were able to achieve our goals for increased bandwidth and flexibility,” said Lloyd Brown, director of technology and information services for HCPS. “The Internet access needs at HCPS are never static. We have peace of mind knowing Cavalier is ready to support additional capacity as our needs change, and having them local is an additional benefit.”
