American Fiber Systems Becomes the Most Connected Competitive Access Network in Las Vegas
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/23/09 --
With the recent on-net extension to eight
high-profile casino and gaming business locations, American Fiber Systems
(AFS) has become the most ubiquitous competitive access provider in Las
Vegas. AFS's optical
fiber network provides connectivity for the gaming industry, large
municipalities, and businesses with high bandwidth needs, and is currently
responsible for the majority of gaming revenue on and off the Strip. AFS's
Las Vegas network is also the preferred local access
provider for those looking to connect to all major long haul carriers, and
for those who require access to all carrier hotels such as Switch's highly
sought-after, ultra-secure SuperNAP.
The company's local network is strategically positioned to serve properties
along the Strip as well as downtown Las Vegas and all key metro areas.
AFS's intercity long haul network ring connects Las Vegas with Reno, Salt
Lake City, UT and Boise, ID as a means to ultra-fast, easily upgradeable
internet connectivity to remote locations and data centers. A significant
portion of the fiber network is located in "Power Zones," which are underground and
above-ground areas that take advantage of the lowest physical routes and
highest steel transmission poles. This network design means that
businesses on the AFS network receive the most secure and reliable fiber
optic network in the Las Vegas market.
"Our network has been operational since 2001 and has experienced consistent
growth each year," said Rich Coyle, Senior Vice President, Operations, AFS.
"It was carefully designed and constructed as a future-proofed network to
accommodate the growth of our existing customers, as well as the addition
of sizable business parks, law firms, carriers and utilities. We are
honored to be the go-to provider for Las Vegas enterprises with large
bandwidth needs, and we treat our role in their success with critical
importance."
Companies consolidating Las Vegas offices and building off-site data
centers for critical backup functionality turn to the highly-reliable,
redundant American Fiber Systems network. American Fiber Systems provides
metropolitan networking infrastructure, dark fiber and transport services
to carriers and large and mid-sized enterprises in ten markets nationwide.
