New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 19, 2009 -- AboveNet, Inc. (NYSE: ABVT), a leading provider of high-bandwidth connectivity solutions, announced the launch of its new Metro 40Gbps service in all 15 of its U.S. markets, providing the highest commercially available metro transport speed.
"AboveNet has been at the forefront of high speed transport solutions driven by our fiber-centric delivery model,” said Rajiv Datta, AboveNet Senior VP and Chief Technology Officer. “We are proud to offer what I believe is the first metro 40Gbps transport service in the US.”
AboveNet’s Metro Wave services portfolio provides high-bandwidth connectivity over dedicated fiber and equipment, offering significant operational, security and performance advantages for customers that have large transport needs. These services, including the new 40Gbps capability, offer various protection options with the ability to add additional services as needed over a private, scalable 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,” added Mr. Datta. “This offer is designed to help accelerate the adoption of 40Gbps technology by our high-bandwidth customers.
