In an effort to enhance the telecommunications infrastructure in and around Richmond, Indiana and to create a valuable factor for economic development, Richmond Power & Light created the telecom division, Parallax Systems.

Now in operation for over three years this development has proven to provide numerous benefits. A fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet architecture designed in conjunction with an existing, internally utilized SONET ring configuration became the main focus of telecommunication services in the community. Our concentration has been on becoming the premier service provider for business Internet and broadband needs.

With a fiber backbone in excess of 80 miles and an extensive wireless network, we have created a multi-faceted delivery system. Our dark-fiber leasing has proved beneficial to public and private sectors alike. Current uses include distant learning, telecommuting and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), to mention a few.

As an Internet Service Provider (ISP), we offer reliable access, e-mail and hosting options. The introduction of anti-Spam and virus protection software was met with overwhelming customer approval.
