Allied Fiber is Constructing a Nationwide, Network-Neutral, Dark Fiber Cable System Linking U.S. Subsea Landing Points, Major Data Centers, Colocation Interconnection Facilities, Rural Networks and Wireless Towers to Meet Increasing Market Demand

Construction Underway to Complete the 1300 Route-Mile Phase 1 Component of the 11,548 Route-Mile, Six-Phase Plan Ringing the United States

NEW YORK, New York (May 24th, 2010) – Allied Fiber announces today that the Company has executed definitive agreements with financial partners and several major railroads and right-of-way owners, including Norfolk Southern Railway, to build a new, network-neutral, high-count dark fiber, colocation and wireless tower integrated system. Construction of the first phase linking New York, NY, Chicago, IL and Ashburn, VA is already underway and will cost approximately US$140 million.

Allied Fiber is addressing the need for increasing national broadband demand by providing much needed access to new dark fiber, colocation facilities and fiber-fed wireless towers on a network-neutral, open-access basis throughout the United States. The user community for these physical-layer services ranges from and includes submarine cable systems, large international and domestic wireline and wireless carriers and network operators to small rural carriers, cooperatives and cable television companies.

According to TeleGeography, trans-Atlantic bandwidth demand has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 47 percent between 2004 and 2009.  It is expected to continue growing strongly from 2010 to 2015, with total demand for capacity nearly doubling every two years.  Furthermore, In-Stat research indicates that 90,000 Gbps of capacity in the last mile of the backhaul network will be needed by the end of 2013 to support the world’s cellular and WiMAX networks.

“We created this system to address the numerous backhaul and capacity issues that exist in the marketplace today,” states Hunter Newby, CEO of Allied Fiber. “We appreciate all of the insight and support we have received from the industry and look forward to delivering our network-neutral, dark fiber, colocation and wireless tower access services to all that need it.”

Allied Fiber has implemented a new, multi-duct design for intermediate access to the long-haul fiber duct through a parallel short-haul fiber duct all along the route. This enables all points between the major cities, including wireless towers and rural networks, to gain access to the dark fiber. In addition, the Allied Fiber neutral colocation facilities, located approximately every 60 miles along the route, accommodate and encourage a multi-tenant interconnection environment integrated with fiber that does not yet exist in the United States on this scale.

“The name Allied Fiber was chosen to signify a new type of all-access, physical layer network,” continues Rory J. Cutaia, Executive Chairman of Allied Fiber. “This network specifically manages competing systems in a common, carrier-neutral infrastructure offering ownership and management of individual fiber pairs.”

The first phase of the system will provide a combined 648 dark fibers, nineteen 700+ sq ft colocation facilities and 300 tower sites all integrated into one system from one provider, creating a new standard for interconnection. With planned, direct connections to the submarine cable systems linking the Atlantic, Caribbean, Latin American and Pacific cables, Allied Fiber will also provide express routing of traffic through the United States on the latest and most advanced fiber types available. Building new, shortest path, physical duct and fiber routes combined with modern fiber will result in lower latencies as well as higher capacities to be achieved between these points.

Allied Fiber has selected Michels Communications, a division of Michels Corporation, Henkels & McCoy, Inc. and Adesta, LLC to construct and install various portions of the system. The entire Phase One deployment is scheduled to be completed by fourth quarter of 2010.

“All our fiber and colocation construction projects are rapidly progressing, thanks to the teamwork we have with our outstanding contractors and strategic partners who are committed to building a world-class network,” continues Jason Cohen, Allied Fiber President & COO.

The new 432-count, long haul cable coupled with the 216-count, short-haul cable will be a composite of Single-Mode (SMF) and Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted (NZDSF) fibers. By having a high-fiber count and being network-neutral, Allied Fiber is able to offer dark fiber and at lower unit costs.

The Company is currently accepting customer agreements for fiber and colocation in the system, evidencing the strong demand for Allied Fiber’s all-access integrated interconnection facility network.

The Internet was started as a research networking tool to assist researchers and educators to get access to current data and collaborate on programs to collect data from disparate locations and still have the ability to share the information in near real-time.  As such, the Internet continues to be a highly valuable tool for a wide-variety of research firms and educational instituations.   One of today’s greatest examples of how research networks use the Internet is through the Internet2 initiative.  Internet2 is a not-for-profit advanced networking consortium comprising more than 200 U.S. universities in cooperation with 70 leading corporations, 45 government agencies, laboratories and other institutions of higher learning as well as over 50 international partner organizations. Our organization is governed by an executive Board of Trustees and strategic councils consisting of leaders who represent our broad membership.

With Tinet’s announcement that it has been selected by NORDUnet, a joint collaboration by the five Nordic National Research and Educational Networks, the significance of this announcement is put into perspective.  Tinet’s network will be used to interconnect Nordic and Global Research and Educational Networks – providing an important link for research and education within the Nordic region.  

What makes Tinet an idea partner for Nordic is their ability to deliver both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity.  Tinet is one of the leading global IPv6 backbone providers, consistently ranked among the top 10 most well-connected global carriers by third party research institutions such as Fixed Orbit and Renesys. 

The announcement, in its entirety is below for further review.  It provides more detail on the Nordic research and education groups that rely on this new connection:
