INCOMPAS Fall 2017 - Day 1 Show Daily

INCOMPAS .org « 7 » www.bekapublishing.com DAY 1 Wave Broadband Completes Oregon Fiber Line W ave Broadband has finished a 97-mile underground fiber line between its network of data centers in the Portland, Ore., suburb of Hillsboro and the Oregon Coast, speeding up data and increasing reliability for its customers, while connecting them with top Asian markets. The Nestucca route connects the data centers with an undersea cable landing station in Pacific City, Ore. for undersea cables that traverse the Pacific Ocean. With this new underground line, Wave customers are now directly linked to markets in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan via the landing station. More connectivity is planned, as a new cable is scheduled to come online in October. Under- served communities along the coast will be boosted by the fast, reliable connections to data centers in Hillsboro created by the new line. “The completion of the Nestucca route is not only a major milestone for our company, but it, along with the 101-mile Salmon route, represents a truly unique solution for the submarine cables that land in Oregon,” said Greg Palser, Wave vice president of business development. “These two fiber routes make up the only low-latency subma- rine cable backhaul constructed on the West Coast in the last 10 years. The Nestucca and Salmon routes also will provide businesses with crucial redundancy in case of route disruption or repair.” Several West Coast government, finance and hospitality-based busi- nesses are already taking advantage of the completed fiber route, Wave said, including the Seattle-based National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative. The organiza- tion uses Wave’s fiber infrastructure to transmit high volumes of ocean moni- toring data and commands related to earthquake detection and under- water volcanism to researchers and educators across the globe using cabled instruments. Kirkland, Wash.-based Wave has been steadily building out its fiber infrastructure for years, and the company to date has 7,500 miles of fiber lines along the West Coast in the states of Washington, Oregon and California. Wave is being acquired by TPG Capital and combining with two other companies — RCN Telecom Services and Grande Communica- tions Networks — to form the nation’s sixth largest internet and cable operator in a $2.36 billion deal. p 6 3 10 278 +1.800.770.3691 WWW.TELEVERGENCE.COM Outstanding Customer Management Our team of experienced telecom professionals perform adds, moves and changes with ease across all major Tier One and regional networks so you don’t have to.
