Cleareon Fiber Networks Acquires NYC-based Data Center Operations
Newly acquired data center assets bring Cleareon’s product suite to the “intelligent edge” of network capability and service options.
Cleareon has announced that it has acquired significant data center assets in and around the New York City (NYC) metropolitan area. These data center assets position Cleareon to take advantage of densification opportunities in the NYC tri-state area to provide hoteling space and “front-haul” support for DAS, small cell, and other wireless systems, as well as 5G-enabled applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data transport, and cloud access.
“These assets serve to complement Cleareon’s existing dark fiber and lit services portfolio by positioning the company at the ‘intelligent edge’ of networking technology and service deployment,” comments Cliff Kane, co-CEO at Cleareon. “We’re building fiber networks from these data centers directly to enterprise buildings so that our customers have robust and fluid layer 1, layer 2, and IP-based services across our network. We’re doing this while readying NYC for 5G, IoT and other promising wireless-enabled applications.”
