According to Contingent Network, a virtual private broadband network will link all 97 Thomas & King locations by the end of 2008. Thomas & King initiated the deployment to enable faster credit card processing, remote network monitoring, energy management and high-speed internet access across all its locations.

Cynthia Clark, information technology director at Thomas & King, said: Contingent proved to be flexible in their approach, allowing Thomas & King the ideal design and deployment strategy needed for our wide area network needs.
