Atlanta fiber lease

Southern Telecom Inc (STI) has confirmed that “a major telecom carrier hotel” in Atlanta has leased a 1,728-fiber cable. The services provider says the connection, provided via a project that began last year, uses its existing conduit system in the city. The duct system runs 12 route miles and utilises cast iron pipes that were initially installed as steam ducts beneath the city streets. The pipes provide a protected environment for dark fiber and conduits, more secure than direct burial.

“We’re excited about the progress of this project, and further supporting the customer’s critical fiber deployment here in Atlanta,” commented Barry Navarre, business development manager for STI. The project started when the customer sought to expand into a neighboring building. The Atlanta infrastructure is part of a fiber optic network that, STI says, runs for 2,600 route miles in the US southeast.
