United Fiber & Data announces the completion of its Northern New Jersey fiber pull from Harrison, across the Passaic River and into Newark. The completed route is one lateral of the redundant ring into the carrier hotel located at 165 Halsey Street, meeting the demand for a diverse route connecting Newark to Manhattan.
Watch as UFD pulls fiber across the Passaic River:
The Passaic River crossing is one segment of UFD's fiber-optic network construction connecting New York and Ashburn, Virginia, via a completely diverse route. Once completed, the network will travel through New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland along a route that bypasses the more traditional I-95 corridor most service providers follow. The 375-mile path will provide more than 97,000 businesses and 3,000 cell towers along the route with fiber access, while avoiding the technology crowding normally seen along other major paths.
