RCN Business Adds Network Maps to NEF’s FiberLocator® Application

RCN Business just made its network easier to find. The communications provider delivering network solutions for voice, data and video, announces today that it has partnered with NEF, Inc. to display its network within NEF’s FiberLocator® database. RCN Business’ fiber maps and lit building locations are now easily searchable by RCN’s channel partners and agents that subscribe to the application. With FiberLocator, agents can now determine specific RCN network routes in each of their cities in order to provide the best RCN Business service solution for their clients and/or prospects.

NEF’s FiberLocator is an industry-leading carrier-neutral fiber mapping tool providing telecommunications networking stakeholders with a more efficient, simplified and cost-effective solution for accurate fiber mapping research. FiberLocator is available via single seat or multi-user enterprise access, or it can be streamlined into existing customer platforms through an API.

“FiberLocator provides users with access to our growing database of over 280 unique carriers, 389,000+ lit building records, and around 6,800 data centers,"stated Steve McCarthy, Chief Operating Officer at NEF. "We are excited to have RCN Business’s maps listed in FiberLocator, making the application that much more inclusive and accurate.”

“RCN has 6,200 fiber miles in five major markets and FiberLocator is a phenomenal way for us to show the expansiveness of our fiber footprint,” commented Michael Carrosquilla, SVP Commercial Services at RCN. “Several RCN agents already use this service and now have the ability to easily view the RCN footprint with FiberLocator. Since RCN is proactively building into new multi-tenant properties, we can present agents with real-time information on new buildings and potential customers.”
