Cross River Fiber Highlights 2013 Dark Fiber Network Improvements

Cross River Fiber, a New Jersey-based, niche boutique provider of dark fiber optic and telecommunications solutions is highlighting the strategic steps it has taken in 2013 to continue to support the financial vertical, including the recent completion of wireless RF infrastructure.

“Cross River Fiber’s latest addition, CRF1700, is a 130ft galvanized steel monopole located in Mahwah, N.J. and stands within close proximity to key financial exchanges and data centers,” said Vincenzo Clemente, president and CEO. “The monopole has been strategically constructed to provide our users with access to deploy low latency RF solutions packaged with our dedicated dark fiber, power and colocation. As RF low latency applications are evolving in the microwave and millimeter wave space, Cross River Fiber recognizes a high demand for high-frequency traders and financial firms to have the most competitive options for data transmission. Complimentary to our fiber optic network, CRF1700 is a mounting block that supports and enables radio frequency telecommunications.”

The company said that it also continues to make consistent modifications to shorten its fiber routes. Cross River Fiber has shortened low-latency fiber routes from 1700 MacArthur Blvd, Mahwah to 755 Secaucus Rd, Secaucus, 165 Halsey St, Newark, 1400 Federal Blvd, Carteret and 300 JF Kennedy Blvd East, Weehawken.

Clemente added, “Our goal has always been to take strategic strides to stay ahead of the curve, often making tactical decisions to fulfill customer demands before they realize we’re doing so.”

In addition to the company’s low latency initiatives, Cross River Fiber is continually expanding its fiber optic network by adding miles across New Jersey and penetrating areas that are underserved with broadband services, he added.
