Pinkerton Retirement Systems Snapshot
A private wealth management company triples their internet bandwidth while reducing their costs
Pinkerton Retirement Specialists (PRS) is a private wealth management firm with clients all across the country. As a national firm based in Coeur d'Alene, PRS is constantly keeping abreast of technological innovations to make sure their office is efficient and their communications with their customers and the financial markets are uninterrupted.
As PRS was growing and moving to a high-tech VOIP product for their phone system, they projected the need for more bandwidth and more flexibility in how they allocated that bandwidth.
By turning to Intermax Networks the firm was able to triple the amount of bandwidth they received, give redundancy to their network broadband connections to eliminate internet downtime, and reduce their costs while doing so.
Apply2Save, Inc. Snapshot
Fast growing financial services company chooses Intermax Fiber-Optic bandwidth to gain bulletproof internet reliability and redundancy for mission critical tasks
Apply2Save is a privately held consumer service company offering varied services primarily focused on the mortgage industry and loss mitigation. As a subsidiary of Sleeping Giant Media Works, Apply2Save has experienced monumental growth in a short period of time as news about their ability to assist consumers struggling with mortgage problems becomes better known.
In the process of ramping up to accommodate the new growth, the leadership of Apply2Save was managing an office move while also at the same time deploying significant new web-based tools for their growing national client base.
Intermax Networks was able to provide the company with a screaming fast fiber-optic connection to the internet and deployed backup routes to the Internet to protect against any potential downtime. These efforts greatly increased their current bandwidth, and allowed management to plan for substantial personnel and future bandwidth growth.
Riverbend Inn Snapshot
An independently owned hotel competes with the national chains by offering free wireless internet access to guests without breaking the bank.
Riverbend Inn is an independent hotel located in Post Falls, Idaho which serves thousands of traveling customers every year. Offering 71 comfortable rooms with great access to the many amenities that North Idaho and Eastern Washington offer year-round, the Riverbend Inn brings a diverse clientele demanding creature comforts on an affordable budget.
The hotel wanted to enhance their client services by offering full internet into all of their guest rooms. They had offered a small wi-fi set up that was sporadic and not available throughout the hotel which was proving to be an impediment to renting guest rooms to people who required the service.
Riverbend management brought Intermax in to consult with them on expanding service in a costly and comprehensive fashion. Using a relatively new and inexpensive technology which installed multiple repeater locations strategically around the property, Intermax was able to finally allow hotel guests in every room of the hotel to get fast and reliable access without breaking the Riverbend bank for technological expansion.

With the inking of new national and international contracts, the company needed to grow to connect additional non-contiguous office space without losing connectivity between employees, management, vendors, and customers.
Intermax was brought in to build a high-volume, high-speed wireless bridge connection between the offices using secure private microwave connections. This connection enabled the company provided a secure WAN to share internet bandwidth and VOIP access, and bring in a redundant feed to guard against internet outages.

One of the area's best-loved restaurants gets a new building and chooses Intermax to provide internet and phone service in the new building, saving them hundreds of dollars a month in communication costs.

Part of the new building was a rigorous look at their overall operating costs, and they turned to Intermax to provide internet service and digital telephone, also known as VOIP (Voiceover Internet Protocol). With three extensions, a fax line, and many calls that come in for their booming catering business, Rustler's Roost relies heavily on their phones.
Intermax was able to provide state of the art internet and phone service which has performed well and brought an old Idaho institution to the cutting edge of internet and voice technology.
