Rudin hosting The Hub.GigaBeam Corporation has signed an agreement with Rudin Management Company and The Hub at 32 Sixth for the deployment of ultra high speed "virtual fiber" communication links in and throughout the New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of metropolitan region on behalf of enterprises, carriers and government. The Hub at 32 Sixth is a carrier-neutral, co-location and interconnection facility with a growing number of communications providers. The Hub was established in 2000 in the 1.15 million s/f building purchased from AT&T by the Rudin Family. The Hub provides a wealth of opportunities for communications service providers A Communications Service Provider or CSP is a company that transports information electronically. The term encompasses public and private companies in the wireline, wireless, Internet, cable, satellite, and managed services businesses. seeking to establish new business opportunities or expand their penetration into the New York market. Lou Slaughter, chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of GigaBeam, stated, "The Hub is an ideal point of presence for GigaBeam's ultra high speed communication links, enabling access for a variety of telecommunications carriers and other service providers, government agencies and enterprise users." GigaBeam's ultra high speed links will be deployed to create a totally independent wireless Metropolitan Area Network above the island of Manhattan as an alternative to the in-ground fiber MAN, he said. "GigaBeam's technology will enable true alternative access, which previously was unavailable from the existing terrestrial fiber services. This problem was highlighted in a report by the Lower Manhattan Lower Manhattan is the southernmost part of the island of Manhattan, the main island and center of business and government of the City of New York. Lower Manhattan is generally defined as the area delineated on the north by Chambers Street, on the west by the Hudson River (North Telecom User's Working Group following the network outages A network outage is an interruption in availability of a system due to the communication failure of the network. Network outages cost money directly to the organisation (for example Banks, Airlines, Online Transaction companies); or cost money indirectly to customers ISP, caused by 9/11," said John Gilbert John Gilbert may refer to:
The Lower Manhattan Telecom User's Working Group, chaired by Gilbert, was formed by the Downtown Alliance, the Association for a Better New York and The Real Estate Board of New York to address the shortcomings A shortcoming is a character flaw. Shortcomings may also be:
GigaBeam's technology is a point-to-point wireless system that uses very high radio frequency at 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz to transmit at multi-gigabit-per-second speed. One gigabit-per-second is the equivalent of 647 T1 lines or 1,000 DSL connections DSL connection n (Comput) → DSL-Anschluss m . This portion of the radio frequency spectrum recently was authorized by the Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission (FCC), independent executive agency of the U.S. government established in 1934 to regulate interstate and foreign communications in the public interest. for wireless point-to-point commercial use. Use of these frequency bands was pioneered by GigaBeam's founders. GigaBeam's technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms of speed and reliability for deployment in Metropolitan Area Networks. However, it has a substantial advantage over terrestrial fiber because it costs less to deploy, resulting in a lower cost of ownership, and the company's virtual fiber links can be deployed in a day. Terrestrial fiber can take many months, even a year, to deploy and also requires significant regulatory and environmental approvals. |
