ATLANTIC METRO
COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS WITH WAYPOINT TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO EXPAND ITS NETWORK
AND SERVICES WITHIN THE MID-WEST
NEW YORK, NY and East Lansing,
MI May 4, 2009:
Atlantic Metro Communications, a recognized SAS 70 managed network and
service provider offering dark fiber and nation-wide colocation and IP
transit, together with
Waypoint Telecommunications, a regional facilities-based carrier in the
Mid-West, announce a partnership that will leverage each company’s
complimentary network services to expand their network reach within the
Mid-West region. Atlantic Metro customers will have the ability to access
Waypoint’s network footprint that spans five states in the Mid-West,
connecting key business centers, including Grand Rapids, MI; Cleveland, OH;
Indianapolis, Indiana; St. Louis, MO; and Chicago, IL. In addition,
Waypoint will add a Point of Presence (PoP) within Atlantic Metro’s Chicago
managed colocation facility, located at 350 East Cermak Road, which will
also be an access point for Waypoint’s new metro fiber ring on Atlantic
Metro’s Chicago metro fiber network.
“By partnering with Waypoint,
we have extended our footprint to major Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in the
Mid-West and can now provide further network reach to companies that require
quality network and Internet services in the region,” commented Stephen
Klenert, CEO of Atlantic Metro. “Waypoint’s network is an ideal fit for
Atlantic Metro since it too is a network that is owned through the
combination of custom build-outs, acquired assets and IRU leases.”
“Atlantic
Metro will have access to Waypoint’s network to offer transport services
that range from DS1/T1 up to OC192 and 10Gig SONET and Ethernet Private
Lines to over 50 PoPs, including Carrier Hotels, ILECs, and Central Offices
throughout the Mid-West,” added
Pete
Empie, Chief Operating Officer of Waypoint. “In addition, Atlantic Metro is
providing Waypoint and our customers access to quality managed colocation
services as well as an extension of our network reach within the Chicago
metro market.”
“Our partnership with
Waypoint enables both companies to leverage its own best -of-breed network
services,” continued Stephen Klenert. “Our customers will benefit by each
company’s ability to offer an expanded footprint that will help meet network
requirements for businesses in the region and beyond.”
Expanded network
services in the Mid-West are now available from Atlantic Metro
Communications. For more information, please visit
