Heritage Bank inks five-year ‘fibre-first’ communications deal with Vocus Featured
By Peter Dinham
Customer-owned bank Heritage Bank has inked a five-year deal with fibre and network solutions provider Vocus that it says will deliver up to 20 times its existing bandwidth, “markedly reduce costs”, and significantly accelerate its digital transformation and growth strategy.
Heritage says the new solution will enable it to increase its speed to market with new technology, products and services, provide a more productive and collaborative environment for its teams, and” ultimately provide a better experience for members using its digital channels and branches”.
Vocus won a competitive procurement process to provide Heritage’s data and voice communications solution for the next five years, with the full roll out of the new communication network to be completed in the first half of 2021.
Under the deal, Vocus will establish fibre network connections across all Heritage Bank sites, with all connections secured, monitored and controlled via a new managed software-driven WAN solution.
Vocus will also provide secure core network, internet, and enterprise voice services, as well as introduce Zoom video-first collaboration services across the bank.
Heritage Bank CEO, Peter Lock, said it was “exciting to be working with Vocus and its partners to build the platform for ongoing digitally-driven improvements”.
“In Vocus, we’ve found a partner who understands the technology solutions we need today and has the capability to help us achieve our long-term vision and strategy,” he said.
“Their solution not only massively increases our data bandwidth but also provides significant cost savings.
“Working as a team with Vocus, this program will be transformative for Heritage Bank as we expand our digital capabilities, continuing to put people first by improving the experience we provide for our members.
“This new partnership will make delivering our current services faster and easier, and give us the capacity to develop even more innovative products and services in future.”
Vocus Chief Executive, Enterprise & Government, Andrew Wildblood, said he was looking forward to the positive impact “brilliantly simple technologies such as a full fibre network, SD-WAN and Zoom would bring to Heritage Bank”.
“We can’t wait to enable Heritage Bank to do more in the cloud, bring Zoom’s collaboration services into its branches, and provide greater security and control over its new high-performance network. Our solution will enable Heritage Bank to introduce future technologies at a rapid rate and drive innovation across the business.”

Now’s the Time for 400G Migration
The optical fibre community is anxiously awaiting the benefits that 400G capacity per wavelength will bring to existing and future fibre optic networks.Nearly every business wants to leverage the latest in digital offerings to remain competitive in their respective markets and to provide support for fast and ever-increasing demands for data capacity. 400G is the answer.
Initial challenges are associated with supporting such project and upgrades to fulfil the promise of higher-capacity transport.
The foundation of optical networking infrastructure includes coherent optical transceivers and digital signal processing (DSP), mux/demux, ROADM, and optical amplifiers, all of which must be able to support 400G capacity.
With today’s proprietary power-hungry and high cost transceivers and DSP, how is migration to 400G networks going to be a viable option?
PacketLight's next-generation standardised solutions may be the answer. Click below to read the full article.
