The United States may be home to most of the world’s top technologies but the country doesn’t always lead the race in technological infrastructure. “Africa leap-frogs when it comes to technology”, says Alessandro Tucci of Fox in the latest article by DSL Prime Fast Net News. It states Africa will soon have more broadband connections than the US, almost completely wireless. This problem raises an important concern when considering the challenges the US faces with rising broadband demands. Less than ¼ of the wireless cell towers in the US have fiber connections and without these support systems, the technology will be starved as the demand increases. As other countries continue to make progress with telecommunications infrastructures, the need for a new system in the US has become more evident than ever before and without one, the country will fail to meet the accelerating demand for wireless broadband.
Allied Fiber intends to meet this challenge with their vision for a new fiber system in the US. Allied Fiber owns, builds and will operate its own network-neutral, fiber optic cable system, connecting sub-sea landing points, cell towers, data centers, carrier hotels, colocation huts, enterprise buildings, schools and governments with next generation, long-haul and short-haul dark fiber. This necessary dark fiber network, planned to unite along its route the continental United States, is created to address America’s need for more broadband access, wireless backhaul, data center distribution and lower latency communications services.
