Our Company History

For over eighteen years, a well-kept secret in the Annapolis area has been a small company of highly-educated degreed engineers providing top-secret communications, computer, and data network design engineering services to NASA, Department of Defense, and intelligence-community customers. Today, that company has opened their doors to the public and converted their state-of-the-art high speed computer facilities, leased-lines, and fiber-optic communications network into the area's fastest, most efficient, and best-engineered Internet Service Provider. We are still located near Annapolis MD in what we affectionately call "The Bunker", set amidst acres of thickly wooded land near an equally well-hidden secure fiber-optic termination facility, We offer innovative public Internet services to everyone in the Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington DC, and especially the nationwide coverage areas. We also now offer nationwide access through over 50000 local numbers across the United States.

We are proud of our history of providing exceedingly high quality services for our government customers, and now for both the home modem user and the dedicated high-reliability business user. No other ISP in the Washington DC / Baltimore MD / Annapolis MD area has a technical staff composed entirely of degreed, experienced professional electrical engineers, computer engineers, and software engineers. We are experts in the Internet's finest equipment: Sun Solaris, BSD UNIX, and Windows NT/2000 software platforms running on the latest, fastest multi-processor scalable hardware with Intel Pentium, Sun, and DEC CPUs. We have designed leading-edge defense systems that protect this country today from the most sophisticated of threats from abroad, and C4I systems that provide virtually instantaneous worldwide voice and computer data network communications to tie together our country's leaders in both peacetime and times of conflict. With all these qualifications, we can darn sure be the best Internet Service Provider in the area, and we already ARE! After all, we have been an ISP for over eighteen years now - longer than anyone else in this metropolitan area. After you have read these pages and explored our site, we hope you will agree that we are the Best, and will decide to make us your ISP too!

Where other companies follow along behind the latest trends in internetworking, we are among the few who worked to design the Internet for the ARPA and DARPA many years before any of the modern ISPs existed, in the late 1970s and early 1980s. And today, we are in the front of the pack professionally in defining the structure of tomorrow's Internet through Internet community Working Groups like the IWG and IETF, and government-sponsored Internet architecture panels. We know where technology is heading, and we are changing and evolving constantly to keep you our customers at the forefront of innovative, lower-cost, highest-speed connectivity from the worldwide Internet to your home or office desktop, laptop, local area network, or handheld wireless device.

Other firms in Annapolis and surrounding cities either provide web site design and marketing, or marketing and promotion, or dialup / email / site hosting, but no one offers everything under one roof like us! We have seen the competition's work, and where it was good we have hired the people who made it that way. Where it was mediocre, we left those people behind. We are now confident that no competitor in the area or at the national level can do better than us in terms of quality, performance, suitability to task, reliability, personal customer service, and most importantly cost.

Your Assurance Of Speed And Reliability

We are proud of our defense services heritage, which made our abundance of optical fiber technology possible in the first place. Equally convenient for you is the fact that at present there is no defense use of the site whatsoever, freeing it for solely commercial ISP use. We have not "oversold" our bandwidth, as virtually every other ISP in this part of the country does. With our history of Defense Department and Government consulting and task order contract services, and infrastructure engineering services, you can depend upon an experienced company like ours to dependably develop, market, and promote your electronic commerce catalog site on our own servers, all under one roof for the maximum in security and reliability.
