Elink Takes Over OnSite Access DC, NY Portfolios

WASHINGTON, DC-in the wake of Onsite going belly up, eLink steps in to fill the gap, snagging contracts for 189 buildings in both markets.

WASHINGTON, DC-ELink Communications, which wires older buildings for broadband services, says it has strengthened its position here as well as in the New York City metro area with its acquisition of assets from OnSite Access, a company that filed for bankruptcy in May.

Company co-founder Jason Epstein stepped down from the CEO position and is now executive vice president for business development.
