Technology

 

In supporting the company’s mission and its own goals, the IT department maintains in-house knowledge and experience on all forms of technology deployed throughout Frontier. By not depending on third party installers and support contracts for business critical systems, we possess data center-like uptimes while keeping costs low.

 


Using in-house technology, best-in-class hardware, web technology, cloud computing, and automation, our company can quickly adapt to both the business cycle and long term changes in the market.

 

"While our main focus is to keep the business running smoothly in a cost effective manner, we strive to offer immediate assistance to our end users and resolve support issues with a sense of urgency." – IT Director

Security Systems

Our array of security features provides peace of mind to our customers on the state of their products and the status of their supply chain. With 24/7 video surveillance and other monitoring devices, we are able to protect customer goods, keep updated records, and provide details for incident investigations.


  • All offices use RFID access badges for electronic locks with differing levels of authorization
  • Most terminals have gates that close automatically at 6 PM and open at 6 AM
  • Camera recording of external access and warehouse high traffic areas: (1) Long term storage of recordings, (2) Easily retrieved for investigations
  • GPS tracking of trucks and intermodal chassis
  • Many facilities have personnel on site 24/7
  • Several locations are approved foreign-trade zones and meet the security requirements of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
  • Drivers picking up loads must sign in and provide a copy of their driver's license

 

Network Security

Frontier's security goes beyond the basic firewall. Here are some of the security measures in place to protect both our customers' data and our own:

  • Secure site-to-site virtual private networks
  • Virus, malware, and spyware protection
  • DMZ for customer and public access
  • 24/7 automated network monitoring
  • Backup redundant e-mail archival system

 

 

Wireless Communications

Frontier has put a strong emphasis on the utilization of wireless communications. At our headquarters, we erected a 100 ft. tower used for high speed wireless communication amongst all La Porte area facilities. Connecting up to 3.5 miles away, this wireless network is backed up by a failsafe broadband VPN which allows for uninterrupted communication in the event of a failure.
