FiberCity Networks unveil new system.

FiberCity Networks, Inc., a gigabit business enterprise data services provider, announced the development and deployment of a breakthrough 4.8 billion bits-per-second-per-building "last-mile" network and has begun providing broadband fiber-optic data services to more than 4.5 million square feet of Class A commercial office space.

The company already has agreements with building owners to permit the rapid deployment of its network into almost 200 buildings in major cities throughout North America, totaling approximately 100 million square feet, in the next 12 months. The company continues to actively negotiate access agreements with additional building owners and expects to substantially increase the number of buildings and square footage on the network.

FiberCity Networks, which began operations earlier this year, is now supporting the data communication needs of medium and large business customers with a wide range of ultra-high-bandwidth service offerings. These services are delivered through a proprietary metropolitan-area, broadband fiber-optic network that achieves an unprecedented 4.8 billion bits per second of private, dedicated bandwidth to each building. This bandwidth is the equivalent of connecting each building with over 3,100 T-1 digital business lines.

This unprecedented bandwidth continues on to the customer with one or two billion-bit-per second fiber optic local loops delivered directly into their offices. Each of these connections is the equivalent of over 650 T-1 digital lines.

The company operates in multi-tenant, Class A commercial buildings that are typically over 250,000 square feet in size and currently average approximately 500,000 square feet. The buildings are in major markets throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
