More Fiber “to the Tower” From Zayo
Zayo Bandwidth will expand its fiber-to-tower coverage for mobile and other carriers by adding Ethernet and TDM services to wireless tower sites throughout central and Wilkes Barre, Penn. The expansion increases the number of FTT customer locations served by Zayo Bandwidth to over 1,700, with another 800 customer locations pending, the company says.
Wireless carriers are often hamstrung by the lack of backhaul fiber solutions in less populated regions of the country, yet the industry is under increasing pressure to add high capacity coverage for wireless users in remote areas.
Zayo Bandwidth’s network expansion in Pennsylvania, as well as recent deployments in other tertiary markets such as Spokane, Wash. and Couer D’Alene, Idaho, give wireless carriers fiber route diversity.

Zayo Lights Low-Latency Chicago-New York Route
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Zayo Bandwidth, a regional provider of fiber based bandwidth infrastructure, and a provider of carrier neutral colocation services, announced today that it has deployed a low latency route between major carrier hotels in New York and Chicago.
The route was deployed in order to support algorithmic trading requirements for financial and carrier customers. The network not only provides low latency transmission capabilities, but also physical path diversity from other common carrier long-haul backbone routes.
“Financial transactions, supported by the latest algorithmic trading platforms, are growing to such a degree that millisecond improvements in network speeds are not only a competitive advantage but also maximize profits,” says John Scarano, Zayo Bandwidth president.
The new route enables global banks, financial and commodity exchanges, market data providers, hedge funds and other market participants to deliver market data and execute orders from locations within New York and Chicago including: 111 N Canal St. and 350 East Cermak Rd., both in Chicago to 165 Halsey in New Jersey, and 111 8th Ave. and 60 Hudson St., both located in New York.
