NEW YORK, NY March 26, 2009: Atlantic Metro Communications, a recognized SAS 70 managed Internet service provider offering colocation, IP transit, nation-wide transport and New York metro area dark fiber solutions, announces today the opening of their Points of Presence (POPs) within three (3) CRG West data centers across the US; 32 Avenue of the Americas in New York, 427 South LaSalle in Chicago, IL and at One Wilshire in Los Angeles, CA. This expansion, leveraging CRG West’s data centers, marks a strategic move for Atlantic Metro Communications; the company can now provide additional and enhanced Internet, transport and colocation services for their web hosting, enterprise, network and Internet customers.

Atlantic Metro Communications will also utilize CRG West’s Any2 Exchange points in Los Angeles and New York. The peering opportunities offered by Any2 provide Atlantic Metro with an efficient means of providing enhanced Internet connectivity services to their customers. Atlantic Metro customers will further benefit from quality Internet services with lower latency and 100% up-time SLA guarantees.

“This is a great opportunity for Atlantic Metro to continue to provide enhanced services to our customers,” states Stephen Klenert, CEO of Atlantic Metro Communications. “By finalizing our latest network POPs, our nationwide network now spans 335 on-net buildings; and with both strategic connections on the Any2 Exchange, Atlantic Metro now has enhanced global peering capabilities, giving our network more reach than it has ever had before.”

“We recognize Atlantic Metro’s ability to meet market demands by expanding within our data centers,” said Joseph Kiaer, CRG West’s Vice President in New York. “As one of the first participants on the Any2 exchange in New York, we hope Atlantic Metro will continue to choose CRG West data centers and colocation services for their ongoing expansions and customer requirements across the United States.”

Riding the (CWDM) Wave

Atlantic Metro Communications (news) operates advanced Internet Data Centers and networks throughout the New York Metropolitan area and Chicago. The company also provides managed ISP solutions, colocation, metro transport, IP bandwidth, managed hosting and voice solutions. They provide services to many ISPs, web hosting solution providers, enterprise financial networks, Web 2.0 startups, VoIP suppliers, and carriers. Currently, Atlantic Metro Communication’s global network includes multiple PoPs in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Toronto, Canada and London, UK.

James Cornman, CTO, says, “We offer CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) Layer 1 passive waves. It allows our provider and enterprise customers to put their own equipment on the wave and be guaranteed a secure channel — there’s no shared infrastructure, it’s not switched Ethernet, which is what many other carriers offer. We can provide services to carriers on a fully dedicated Layer 1 passive channel. No intermediary electronics are necessary. We provide the optics on either side, which we also manufacture. We can also provide lit Layer 2 Ethernet services via our fiber infrastructure, as well as ourWiMAX ( News – Alert) infrastructure, seamlessly between any type of medium. We can deliver a 20 Meg tail circuit via WiMAX or you can also bridge that into a building connected at 100 Mbps. Our whole infrastructure nationwide is pure Ethernet; there’s no SONET anywhere in it. Our topologies run the gamut from point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, full ring, and so forth. We offer the CWDM services in Manhattan and metro area.”

“We see our carrier business growing as people increasingly outsource and replace more expensive solutions with converged technology that we offer,” says Stephen Klenert ( News ), Atlantic Metro’s CEO. “We see SONET eventually being phased out. MPLS is becoming a bit more prevalent but that’s an independent phenomenon. As a whole, with the offerings we bring to the table, customers tend to hub a lot of connections off one physical port or in other cases multiple ports in different markets or buildings. Overall, Ethernet is a far better platform to grow, particularly considering the current state of the market, with people not wanting to spend as much capital to get the bandwidth they need.”
