FiberNet to Build Network Cross-Connection Room at Telecom

NEW YORK CITY-Currently, there is no place at the 60 Hudson St. telecom hotel where carriers can intersect. A new 15,000-sf facility, dubbed the Meet-Me-Room, will change that.

NEW YORK CITY-FiberNet Telecom Group has been selected to build and operate the Meet-Me-Room, at 60 Hudson St. here, a telecom hotel. The 15,000-sf facility will allow for cross-connection of networking equipment and communications between carriers. “Because FiberNet is a carrier-neutral company, existing and future tenants will have unlimited access to the ever-growing demand for bandwidth at 60 Hudson Street’s facility,” says Robert Getreu, senior managing director of GVA Williams Real Estate, which manages 60 Hudson St.

Michael Liss, president and CEO of FiberNet notes that although virtually every voice and data carrier has a presence at the facility, there is no point in the building where all the carriers intersect. “All carriers that enter or depart 60 Hudson St. will benefit by having access to infrastructure to connect their own networks or interconnect with other carriers,” he says, adding, “We see the Hudson Street Meet-Me-Room as a vital piece of the total last-mile solution FiberNet offers in eliminating the metropolitan bottleneck.”
