RC Networks relaunched as Viadux

San Antonio--

RC Networks’ time may finally have come--but the name won’t be around to reap the success. The San Diego-based in-building access solutions provider has been relaunched as Viadux. Even with the new name, technology and the end game will remain the same: take broadband access in any delivery form, fragment it and deliver it throughout a small/medium business space.

“We sorted through all the opportunities, and the long and the short of it is that it looks as if it’s evolving towards us now,” said new President and CEO Vicki Marion. “Our features are probably at their best when somebody is trying to extend their network towards the small- or mid-sized business customer who, by and large, resides in a multi-tenant structure.”

While service providers, including incumbents, are focused on bringing big broadband pipes to buildings, Viadux is focused “on fractionalizing that pipe down to the various customers with secure transport and some of the business-centric services that a business customer wants.”

For about $5000, she said, a service provider can have entrée to a building and a customer and “can provision the next customer by shipping out a CPE and going in over the network and provisioning them. You end up with a very fast revenue turn on a very low dollar investment.”

Viadux, she said, makes it even easier by using an “any-wire” approach to in-building connectivity and allowing the DSL signal to ride above the voice signal on the in-building twisted pair to the customer suite where the CPE splits the two signals.

The market, she emphasized, is ready.

“It’s simple math. The SME market is sitting there pretty much for the taking. You have to have last mile and you have to have voice. We can do both,” she said.
