Cogent Communications to Wire 16 Rudin Properties

NEW YORK CITY-As part of the deal, Cogent will use the NY Global Connectivity Center at 32 Sixth Ave. that Rudin is redeveloping as its local hub site. Cogent plans to expand its four-city base to 14 by the end of the second quarter.

NEW YORK CITY-Rudin Management Co. has signed an agreement with Internet service provider Cogent Communications to equip 16 of its commercial buildings here with all-optical 100 Mbps access. As part of the deal, which involves 10 million sf, Cogent will use 32 Sixth Ave. as its Manhattan hub site, a property Rudin is redeveloping as the NY Global Connectivity Center. The facility is slated for completion this year.

Cogent technology provides a connectivity rate that is approximately 100 times faster than T1 capacity and is offered for $1,000 per month, well below the cost of a T1 connection. In addition to launching its services here and in its headquarters city late last year, the Washington, DC-based firm made its debut in Chicago and Philadelphia. By the end of the second quarter of 2001 it plans be set up in nine other metropolitan areas.
