AboveNet Inc. announced Tuesday the launch of its new Metro 40gbps service in all 15 of its U.S. markets.
"AboveNet has been at the forefront of high speed transport solutions driven by our fiber-centric delivery model,” said Rajiv Datta, AboveNet senior vice president and CTO. “We are proud to offer what I believe is the first metro 40Gbps transport service in the U.S.”
AboveNet’s Metro Wave services portfolio provides high-bandwidth connectivity over dedicated fiber and equipment. These services, including the new 40gbps capability, offer various protection options with the ability to add additional services as needed over a private technology platform.
"Just as important as the technological step this represents is our ability to offer this 40gbps service for less than 2.5 times what a single 10gbps service costs, which is the traditional decision point for moving to the next bandwidth level,” said Datta. “This offer is designed to help accelerate the adoption of 40gbps technology by our high-bandwidth customers.
