Wireline Networks
Cobalt can provide your business with traditional T1, T3, OC-3 and faster circuits at approximately one half of typical market prices. Circuits can be provisioned as private line connections between any two points you specify or they can be terminated at one of our class-one data centers.

We are connected to four tier-one Internet backbone providers (each via OC-3 connection) for unparalleled reliability. All of our customers are protected by PIX firewall appliances and security can be enhanced through Cobalt VPN, virtual LAN, 56 or 128-bit key encryption, and remote access VPN technology.


High-Speed Fixed Wireless Networks
Cobalt also designs, builds, manages and monitors high-speed wireless networks. We have experience with indoor wireless-LANs, outdoor campus environment wireless-WANs, city-wide wireless metropolitan area networks and county-wide wireless networks.

We have implemented both private enterprise networks and public access networks. These networks use 128-bit key encryption and VPN technology, just like our landline circuits, making transmissions as safe as traditional landlines. Depending on the implementation, these networks can transmit at speeds up to 155 Mbps.

Our core network is continually evolving with multiple high-speed links between major cities, ensuring stable, redundant and scalable IP traffic transport. At the edge of the core network, Cobalt customers are connected via T1 or faster circuits or via broadband wireless links. Every transmission is highly secure with up to 128-bit encryption levels.


Industry-Specific Solutions
Due to the newly enacted HIPPA legislation, Cobalt has begun working with hospitals and patient-care facilities of every size because our technology brings these organizations into instant HIPAA compliance with affordable VPN and encryption technologies. Cobalt prides itself on being an out-of-the-box company, capable of designing the most complex and customized solutions in the world.
