A [Fiber Network Owner Alliance (FNA)](http://www.fibernetworkalliance.com/) member, Columbia County Community Broadband Utility (C³BU) owns and operates over 210 route miles of fiber optic open-access network in Columbia County, Georgia. By collocating in Colo Atl’s facility, C³BU can easily interconnect with strategic carrier partners, including other FNA members with no monthly recurring cross connect fees. Additionally, C³BU will have access to the Colo Atl’s [Southeast Network Access Point (SNAP)](http://www.southeastnap.com), which provides next-generation Internet Exchange (IX) solutions, including SDN peering, testing, collaboration and implementation. The C³BU network currently offers 20 Gigabits of bandwidth capacity scalable to several hundred Gigabits per shelf. The Dense Wave Division Multiplex (DWDM) platform is Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 2.0 certified to provide true carrier-class performance to its customers. Moreover, C³BU’s Software Defined Network (SDN) solutions provide carrier-class packet optical transport services to service providers. “We are very excited to expand our network into Colo Atl,” comments Lewis Foster, Broadband Manager for C³BU. “The Colo Atl facility is home to one of the largest concentration of telecommunication companies in the Southeast. This expansion will enhance our local economic growth by expanding affordable broadband access to our local community.

C³BU also currently partners with five service providers to provide service to commercial and residential customers. C³BU currently has over 180 facilities connected to its network. “We are proud to welcome Columbia County Broadband Utility to our Colo Atl family,” states [Tim Kiser](http://coloatl.com/aboutus.php), Owner and Founder of Colo Atl. “By collocating at our facility, C³BU makes good on its commitment to extend its network reach and provide a cost-efficient, self-sustaining middle-mile fiber network to new Southeast US markets. Additionally, Colo Atl provides FNA members and all of our tenants the opportunity to leverage over 90 telecom service providers to enhance their current services and increase revenue opportunities.” Founded in November 2001, Colo Atl provides a reasonable, accommodating and cost-effective interconnection environment for more than 90 local, regional and global network operators.
