FiberNet expands to Chicago and Miami
NOVEMBER 11, 2008 -- FiberNet Telecom Group Inc. (search for FiberNet Telecom Group), provider of interconnection services, has extended its network reach to Chicago and Miami. The newly deployed networks are an element of the company's previously announced four-part network expansion project that also includes increasing its network capacity in the NY metro market; deploying additional capacity in Los Angeles; extending the network to San Francisco; and augmenting its metro Ethernet network.
"Network expansion into these critical markets was of prime importance for us," contends John P. Dowd, vice president of business development. "With these extensions, we can now meet our customers' demand for expanded network reach."
Continuing on FiberNet's core strategy of interconnecting key carrier hotels, the network nodes for the Chicago and Miami extensions are located at 350 E. Cermack Road in Chicago and 50 N.E. 9th Street in Miami. Each network extension is fully interconnected with all of FiberNet's data centers and colocation facilities, including the 60 Hudson Street Meet-Me-Room in New York. And both are comprised of multiple wavelengths to deliver FiberNet's full suite of transport and conversion services, say company representatives.
FiberNet Telecom Group owns and operates integrated colocation facilities and diverse transport routes in the two gateway markets of New York/New Jersey and Los Angeles, designed to provide comprehensive broadband interconnectivity enabling the exchange of traffic over multiple networks. According to the company, its customized connectivity infrastructure provides advanced, high-bandwidth, fiber optics to support the demand for network capacity and to facilitate the interconnection of multiple carriers' and customers' networks.
