Hudson Fiber Network fiber cables Manhattan | Lightwave

Fiber-optic network services provider Hudson Fiber Network (HFN) says it has completed installation of bulk fiber cables throughout Manhattan. HFN says its fiber-optic cables now connect "leading commercial buildings and data centers" throughout New York City.

HFN will use the network infrastructure to offer lit and dark fiber services to data centers including 111 Eighth Avenue, 60 Hudson Street, and 325 Hudson Street. It plans to add the data centers at 375 Pearl Street, 32 Avenue of the Americas, and 85 Tenth Avenue in the future.

"Our new cable allows us to deliver lit and dark fiber services to many commercial buildings that do not yet have fiber or require diverse carrier access," asserts HFN's COO, Keith Muller. "The NYC cable connects to our core New Jersey network, providing clients with national and international access connection points at faster speeds with greater bandwidth."

HFN offers Gigabit Ethernet, optical wavelength, and IP connectivity primarily to financial, content, carrier and enterprise clients. Its network more than 50 commercial buildings throughout New York City in addition to the new Manhattan connections. It says it can connect customers with an average of 60- to 90-day installation time.
