Fibertech Networks to Expand Fiber Optic Network in Delaware

Fibertech Networks, a leader in providing fiber-optic based network services throughout mid-size cities, today announced it will expand its fiber optic network in Delaware.

The company currently operates a 160-mile network in Wilmington, DE. To fulfill major new sales agreements, Fibertech will extend its current infrastructure by more than 80 miles from Wilmington, through Dover and into Georgetown, DE. This expansion comes on the heels of the company’s recent network construction launch in new markets of Akron, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo.

In making this announcement, John K. Purcell, Fibertech Chairman and CEO said, “This expansion is based on our success in signing up new customers and is another indication that our business growth continues to exceed expectations.”

To date, the company has built and owns more than 9,000 route miles of metro networks in 23 markets, and provisions its connectivity solutions on that infrastructure end-to-end. This differentiator enables Fibertech and its customers’ unprecedented control, scalability and security of services.

“The expansion of our Delaware network ensures businesses have cost-effective alternatives for their critical bandwidth applications,” added Purcell. “We believe that the presence of our network and services will also help enhance economic development initiatives in its capital city and throughout the state of Delaware.”

Fibertech’s service offering will encompass both dark fiber and optical broadband options to area businesses that have predominately used traditional carrier lines in the past. The company’s complete optical solutions portfolio of services includes private line connections ranging in speeds from T1 to OC-192; point-to-point and multi-point Ethernet service in speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps; dedicated Internet access; DWDM; and collocation for fast communication between multiple locations.

Fibertech offers network services to education, healthcare, government and financial institutions, along with and other large and medium-size businesses looking to meet demands for data and broadband connectivity. Fibertech extends its fiber optic network directly into business locations, allowing them to internally deploy a wide range of advanced telecommunications applications. Organizations can benefit from the added scalability and control inherent in a new fiber network.

Additionally, other telecommunications carriers will be able to lease strands of fiber on the new network to expand their local presence and extend broadband solutions to their business customers as well.

“As information technology businesses and needs continue to grow in this area, it’s important to have alternative fiber infrastructures to support these efforts and provide additional diversity options,” added Hurley. “This type of extensive, open-access broadband communications network should help enable increased facilities-based telecommunications competition in Delaware and help continue to make it an attractive environment for business through this significant private investment in broadband infrastructure.”

Fibertech has networks operational in Pittsburgh, PA; Indianapolis, IN; Providence, RI; Hartford, Bridgeport, Stamford, Danbury, New London and New Haven, CT; Columbus, OH; Springfield and Worcester, MA; Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Binghamton, White Plains and Albany, NY; Wilmington, DE; Montgomery County, MD; Northern and Southern NJ; and Philadelphia, PA. The company recently announced plans to expand to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and Akron, OH.

    I work for Geo-Tel (http://www.geo-tel.com) and we take fiber optics data and lay it over GIS software, basically making fiber optic lines viewable in a spatial map-like environment. By what we are seeing, there is definitely a demand in cities like Wilmington wanting to build faster fiber-optic networks, if it be through Fibertech or another customer.
