Yesterday we announced the completion of a major expansion to Waveform's Metro Detroit fiber-optic network. Waveform Technology now connects more Michigan data centers than any other competitive carrier. The total capacity of our 400 route mile network is over 1,600 Gigabits per second, and we provide connectivity to private, commercial, educational, and municipal data centers located throughout Southeast Michigan.
Waveform Technology spokesperson, Noel Montales, had this to say: "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. We hope that affordable Internet bandwidth will also encourage out-of-state information technology companies to call Michigan their home."
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.
