First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union
When asked about why First Commonwealth has chosen PenTeleData to provide their data connections, Stephen P. Drosnock, Chief Technology Officer, explained, “PenTeleData is locally owned and operated. They have a reputation for reliability and great service. They were the only company who could provide a complete fiber network to all six of our locations across the Lehigh Valley. We replaced point to point T-1s with a fully meshed MPLS network. Their MPLS is our primary connection for our branch network. With this one implementation we more than doubled our bandwidth, built in redundancy, and added an Internet access point. PenTeleData’s services reduced latency between branches and provided us with the ability to operate our hot site for disaster recovery without any issues.”
