GUS Networks, founded in 1994, is recognized as the fastest growing commercial Internet service provider in Los Angeles area. Through judicious business mergers, it has become a fully established, large-scale company. It now has two labs with dedicated leased lines. One is located in the Alhambra office with a T1 leased line (1.544 Mbps). The other lab in the Baldwin Park office has a T3 backbone 28 times the speed of the T1 line (45 Mbps). GUS' greatest advantage lies in its talented and astute technical support team.

Jerry Wang, General Manager of GUS Networks, points out recently, that GUS has successfully helped nine medium to large-sized companies set up their intranet and Internet connection, including database sharing, intranet security, firewall to the Internet, etc. One significant result is the reduction of the costs of international phone calls and fax via enterprise IP networks. Air Tiger Express Inc. USA, for example, cut down its long distance charges to under $100 from more than $1,000 per month. What a huge cost saving for a corporate firm!

"There are also many educational organizations and schools which want to get on the web and are now provided service by GUS Network." Jerry Wang said.

GUS Vice President Jeff Yang also announces two new technological developments by GUS. One is the PIP Box (phone/fax over Internet Protocol Networks). This state-of-the-art silence suppression technology uses bandwidth only in the process of talking and thus compresses bandwidth from 64K to 3.2K without losing voice clarity. The other development, the server co-location, places a co-located server at GUS Networks headquarter in Baldwin Park in order to solve problems efficiently and cut the cost of hiring more computer personnel.
