Unprecedented global shifts to remote work, telehealth and online learning mean organizations of all sizes have an increasing need for high-performance networks designed for speed, reliability, capacity and security.
That’s why we’re investing $500 million to build, upgrade and expand the region’s most sophisticated fiber infrastructure designed to meet the connectivity needs of today’s businesses and scale for the future.
We also operate our network differently — avoiding substandard industry norms in favor of best practices that deliver superior performance — so you can focus on core business objectives instead of troubleshooting performance issues caused by a slow, congested network.
Here are eight ways our new and improved network is better for business.
1. Infrastructure upgrades
- Replacing legacy copper wiring with high-capacity fiber
- Extending core network closer to premise
- Standardizing CO design across the region
- Upgrading to 50+ DWDM nodes with 400 gig circuits between markets
- Replacing border routers, racks, wiring harnesses and power supplies
- Burying most intermarket conduit deep underground
2. Capacity management
Network usage capped at just 40%, so there’s plenty of bandwidth to spare when upgrades are necessary or individual components fail.
3. Rapid fiber expansion
- 21 new fiber-enabled cities completed
- 33 new fiber-enabled cities in process
- More than 1,000 miles of new fiber
4. Redundant core
Core backbone capable of 20+ terabytes per second on all inter-city fiber routes, with fully redundant local aggregation networks and multiple fiber connections down to the hub site level.
5. Local routing & direct peering
- Shortest available fiber routes for all primary traffic paths, keeping latency from users to the peering edge as short as possible.
- Direct peering and regional caching with hundreds of major websites resulting in one of the lowest utilization backbones available.
6. Route diversity
Rigorous route diversity steers users clear of congestion and protects from single-location incidents such as construction or inclement weather events.
7. Automated configuration
Automated configuration management minimizes human error, increases reliability and allows us to identify any issues before they become visible to the human eye.
8. DDoS Protection
The only provider that protects your business against DDoS attacks before they reach your border, without extra fees, so you have one less threat to prepare and pay for.
