e hear a lot about companies being “innovative”. To
most brands that means
being the biggest, the shiniest, the
most technologically intricate. To us
it’s just great ideas that deliver on our
promise. And that promise is to put
the customer at the heart of everything we do.

ompanies are always looking
for ways to improve performance, be it in technology or in
policy. This effort is all about getting
to work on the research and developing an innovative yet strong plan
of execution. Four years ago, Andrew
Kusminsky and I heard a lot from financial firms about the challenges they
faced in getting more efficient and
lower-latency networks into distant
markets such as New York to London
across the Atlantic or New York to
Brazil down the Atlantic.
What we found is that it doesn’t take
half a billion dollars to make trans-Atlantic connectivity faster, but rather
better R&D backed by a commitment
to bring innovation to market. By the
beginning of 2011, Perseus Telecom
was formed and had built ‘QuanTA,’ the
fastest trans-Atlantic network connecting New York and London for financial
markets. We then went on to improve
the same type of connectivity from New
York to Brazil, London to Frankfurt and
on to 70+ markets around the world.
Our business model, which is core
to our operating philosophy, is how
TWENTY-SIX
Perseus has been successful in deploying winning networks for customers,
why we stand proud of our mantra to:
Simplify, Solve and Save.
