KLAX-TV 31 Signs Contract with CoLouisiana, LLC

Ken Nolan, General Manager for KLAX-TV said "The pricing, speed, and depth of support offered by CoLouisiana simply made them the logical choice, second to none."

Dependability and speed were the main criterion for winning the KLAX contract.  Marred by slow upload speeds and heavy connectivity costs, KLAX needed a solution that would allow their news team to operate and move information quickly.  CoLouisiana responded with providing them a 10Mbps Internet connection over fiber optic cable.  Their team was able to load and move information in seconds compared to minutes.  The results were immediate and beyond satisfactory.

"Incredible," says Jerry Havens, IT Manager for KLAX-TV, "no other ISP in the area has been able to deliver performance like this."

CoLouisiana has also assisted KLAX with its network consolidation project.  KLAX-TV has responded by expanding their contract with CoLouisiana to include voice and network security management features.

MindTool, LLC partners with CoLouisiana, LLC

Every day the end user is becoming more and more versed in subverting corporate Internet filters and proxies.  These devices prevent users from accessing restricted content such as pornography, hacking sites, malware and spyware.  These devices are countermeasures put in place by network administrators to defend their systems from spyware and viruses typically found on these sites.

MindTool, a Lake Charles, LA based company, has partnered with us here at CoLouisiana to house their web filtering solution currently deployed to several corporate and school system customers.

"We needed a place that could offer us convenience and reliability," says Joe Harrington, CEO of MindTool, "the guys at CoLouisiana had us installed and running in their facility within hours of the equipment arriving.  Speed of deployment, speed of access (Internet), everything we need and more."
