INCOMPAS (formerly COMPTEL) has announced a partnership with NEF, the data transport and data center professional services firm, in which the association’s member companies can receive exclusive discounts on NEF’s FiberLocator tool, the most up-to-date telecom network intelligence and maps platform currently available, along with specialized consulting services.
“As the data and connectivity needs of businesses and consumers increase exponentially, it is imperative that INCOMPAS’ member companies have accurate and detailed information in order to make important network investment decisions,” said Alan Hill, INCOMPAS’ senior vice president for strategic business development. “By working with NEF, INCOMPAS is providing its members – particularly small and mid-sized companies – access to critical information and industry expertise.”
NEF’s FiberLocator tool provides users with a full understanding of who the fiber providers are within a given area, whether that’s between two points or at a single location. Comprised of data from hundreds of CLECs and facilities-based carriers, as well as hundreds of thousands of lit buildings and data centers, FiberLocator is the tool for network planners looking to quickly and easily secure the most up-to-date industry information. FiberLocator is available as a subscription-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool and as an API, enabling users to overlay fiber data in their own internal systems.
NEF also offers a combined century of industry experience and a proven methodology for providing its clients with the best networks, information and pricing available. NEF provides a broad spectrum of products from fiber mapping to consulting, to procurement and project management. Through our many partners and carrier relationships, NEF designs custom connectivity solutions and provides access to hundreds of fiber providers and thousands of lit buildings and data centers.
“NEF is extremely excited to work with INCOMPAS and its member companies,” said Steve McCarthy, NEF’s COO. “We fully understand the challenges and opportunities facing small and mid-sized carriers, and look forward to developing strong relationships with these companies to assist them as they expand their network footprints.”
