ICS Advanced Technologies: Delivering Top-Notch Amentiy Solutions with Superior Connectivity

Challenge

ICS Advanced Technologies is a leading provider of turnkey amenity solutions for apartment communities, delivering resident-facing services such as high-speed Internet, TV, security, and audio/video. With operations in 20 states and service to approximately 50,000 apartments, ICS’s success depends on delivering consistent, high-quality connectivity to residents. ICS faced the challenge of maintaining exceptional network quality and reliability—essential to delivering the seamless high-speed internet experience that ICS guarantees to its apartment residents.

Solution

ICS found an ideal partner in Segra, a collaboration that spans more than a decade. Segra’s comprehensive suite of services, including Dedicated Internet Access (enterprise pipes of 2, 5, or 10 gig) and Ethernet private lines (EPLs) for inter-city transport, became the cornerstone of ICS’s network. Segra’s commitment to network quality, underscored by its significant investment in backbone infrastructure and redundancies, positioned them as a top-tier provider for ICS’s critical connectivity needs. This high level of network quality and reliability was crucial for ensuring the uninterrupted high-speed internet service that ICS promises its apartment residents.

“The quality of networking at Segra and the investments they make in their infrastructure and redundancies really set them apart from other providers. The reliability and uptime we’ve experienced speak for themselves, making this a huge accolade — especially considering the number of companies we work with in this space. It’s clear that Segra prioritizes performance and stability at every level.” — Matt Bueltel, CEO/CFO, ICS Advanced Technologies

Beyond the technical capabilities, Segra’s partnership approach is invaluable to ICS. Segra’s responsive sales team, accessible Network Operations Center (NOC), and willingness to address and resolve issues quickly—even escalating to upper-level leadership when necessary—fosters a strong and trusting relationship. Regular quarterly meetings with Segra further solidified this partnership, allowing for proactive problem-solving and collaborative network design. This level of communication and dedication to customer success differentiates Segra from other vendors and provides ICS with the support necessary to navigate complex network deployments and maintain service excellence.

“The great thing is that Segra has performed exactly as we expected and as we were promised. They’ve consistently stood behind their products, and as a result, we’ve seen many contract renewals. We continue to do business with Segra without hesitation.”
