Wilcon announced that it is lighting its fiber optic network throughout Southern California. Stretching 3,000 miles and connecting 1,000 on-net locations, the network includes major data centers, colocation facilities, enterprise locations and wireless communications sites, says the company.
With its new 100G network, Wilcon now offers scalable Ethernet and Wavelength services, as well as Internet access, throughout Southern California from Los Angeles to San Diego. The network will be live in the first quarter of 2015 and is the result of Wilcon’s collaboration with Ciena and LightRiver Technologies, an integrator of network transport solutions for mission-critical networks.
“This is a game changer for Wilcon and for Southern California,” said Jon A. DeLuca, Wilcon CEO. “It was evident that Southern California could no longer count exclusively on the legacy network services available to handle the current bandwidth requirements, let alone their expected growth. In terms of availability and value, we are changing the marketplace.”
Wilcon offers a dense fiber and interconnection infrastructure in downtown Los Angeles and throughout southern California with metro fiber footprints in Los Angeles, Burbank, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita, Long Beach, Irvine, Riverside, Carlsbad and San Diego.
