Local Internet service provider Waveform Technology now
connects more Michigan data centers than any other competitive carrier.
Waveform Technology today announced the completion of a major expansion
of its Metro Detroit fiber-optic network. This IP based network
provides connectivity to private, commercial, educational and municipal
data centers located throughout Southeast Michigan. The total capacity
of Waveform Technology's 400 route mile network is over 1,600 Gigabits
per second.
The network improvements substantially increase the amount of available bandwidth in
southeast Michigan, make high capacity Metro Ethernet circuits more affordable, and
provide for additional Type-1 carrier options to customers in Waveform Technology's
carrier neutral Troy, Michigan, Data Center. The new bandwidth is available thanks
to new construction and upgrades, including increased use of Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (DWDM). Fiber construction was completed despite harsh winter
weather.
"This project demonstrates our continued commitment to investing in our local
economy. We want to make sure that Michigan companies have access to both the
Internet and private network bandwidth that they need to prosper in the new '2.0
economy,'" said Waveform Technology spokesperson, Noel Montales. "We hope that
affordable Internet bandwidth will also encourage out-of-state information
technology companies to call Michigan their home."
Among the benefits of the expanded network capacity is the increased availability of
Metro Ethernet circuits in southeast Michigan. Metro Ethernet is a flexible and
trusted technology that provides high bandwidth Internet connections over fiber at
relatively low cost, and without the substantial investment required for other types
of fiber Internet connections.
The completion of this fiber build is one of a series of construction projects
currently underway at Waveform Technology. Waveform's goal is to improve bandwidth
options throughout Metro Detroit for the benefit of Michigan technology companies.
