CFN Services Expands FiberSource(R) Network Planning Service; Industry's Premier Source for Dark Fiber and Telecom Infrastructure Information Expands Base of Data, Applications, and Services.

HERNDON, Va. -- CFN Services, a nationwide provider of telecom infrastructure services, today announced it has expanded the base of data, applications, and services that its FiberSource(R) Planning Service supports. Launched in the Fall of 2005 to support CFN's large wireline and wireless carrier customers' internal planning capabilities, FiberSource(R) offers a combination of industry-leading expert planning professionals and access to one of the largest, most comprehensive infrastructure knowledge-bases in the telecom industry.

"The initial reception to FiberSource(R) from our traditional customer base has been outstanding," said Russell Logan VP of Professional Services for CFN. "As we've ramped up and expanded visibility around the capabilities of the platform, we are continually amazed at the ever growing list of potential applications we're seeing from leading carriers and equipment vendors, large engineering firms and systems integrators, government agencies, and even private equity and investment firms. We're now leveraging FiberSource(R) to support applications as varied as core network planning, sales, product planning, merger synergy capture, access and backhaul network optimization, and custom enterprise network sourcing among many others."

In addition to the growing list of applications, CFN also announced continued growth of the infrastructure base beyond dark fiber and facilities, as well as expansion of its related planning and implementation services. The company's nationwide geospatial asset base has grown to include more than 220,000 fiber network route miles, 15,000 unique fiber-served buildings, 550 metropolitan fiber networks, 150,000 cellular sites and towers, licensable broadband wireless spectrum, rail corridor rights of way, carrier collocation space, excess optical transport capacity, and more. The company's planners use state-of-the-art geographic information systems and network planning tools to get the most out of the vast amounts of information available, while also delivering information directly to customers in real-time via an integrated web portal.

Outside of the data, CFN's planning and information services have expanded beyond the initial subscription service to include project based services as well. The company announced availability of its FiberSource(R) Site Review and FiberSource(R) Market Survey, both providing access to FiberSource(R) for specific projects, complete with cost estimates and dedicated planning support. The company is also offering an expanded range of implementation services from fiber sourcing and delivery program management to turnkey network implementation and financing.

"Previously network operators had little choice but to expend new capital investment to satisfy network expansion needs," said Rob Russin, VP Network Planning at CFN Services. "The lack of a single comprehensive source for actually knowing what assets were potentially available in a given market simply did not exist in a usable format. FiberSource(R) fills that information void by providing insights into a diverse set of telecom assets across 240 markets nationwide. With FiberSource(R) network operators can rapidly iterate network planning and business case scenarios to optimize project costs and investment capital where available assets can be tapped for use in planned internal or potential customer network projects."
