Being fed up as a customer of another broadband provider with the constant downtime and bad customer service, Chamber member Tony Miller from Ocean Telecommunications Ltd (Azotel-Ocean) decided to set up his own Internet Service! Only Tony also endeavors to offer a more robust, reliable, high quality broadband network with excellent customer services for both residential and business customers alike.

Simply put; Azotel-Ocean is the supplier of broadband internet access for Business, education and gaming, etc and aim to be the best in the business!

Azotel –Ocean first commenced business in this area in January 2007, having taken many months of implementing and planning the network before connecting any customers. Tony also worked from an extensive business plan and researched his competition and the market segment he planned to serve thoroughly. Tony would advise any business entrepreneurs thinking of starting up a business to do similar. Delighted with the progress to date, Azotel-Ocean advise that since startup, the company continues to grow on a weekly basis, many customers joining simply by recommendations and word of mouth which is a great testament to the service they provide on a continuous basis.

Providing all internet related products and services at affordable prices and offering 24 hour customer services,  Azotel –Ocean also holds a competitive edge by offering a state of the art, fully monitored and managed wireless network, used in 85 countries and supported by Azotel Technologies and Motorola. Azotel-Ocean also offers a large number of broadband and network related services which include SLA agreements, 24 hour on site support, Point to Point links, lease line replacement services and many other network services.

The current geographical spread is County Waterford, East Cork and South Tipperary; however plans are in progress to roll out the network in Cork County, Kilkenny County and throughout Tipperary County, appealing to their target market which fits a fairly broad spectrum, including services to small and medium businesses, residential customers, National and Multi National companies. Other future plans consist of new products and services such as online storage (remote data backup), Business Website and Email hosting services; Azotel-Ocean are in the process of building and implementing a brand new high quality Voice network where customers will make significant savings over their current landline offering. Research also continues on planning other new services which will allow customers to enjoy world class services on their wireless network.   

Day to day role for Tony Miller and his team in this very fast paced environment is varied and dynamic. The most rewarding part of running his own company, Tony advises is the satisfaction of building a high quality state of the art wireless network which actually works and provides their customers with the services they want.  Azotel-Ocean’s business philosophy shared by directors; Tony Miller, Ciaran O’Dea and Ann Miller is ‘to deliver quality, secure, network communication services and Premier Customer Service to both business and residential clients.’
