RCN Business has partnered with Cross River Fiber, a New Jersey-based dark fiber-optic and telecommunications solutions provider, to expand their respective footprints in New York and New Jersey. The deal is intended to allow the companies to leverage each other's assets and, specifically, expand RCN's business services into the New Jersey market and Cross River Fiber's presence throughout New York City.
The partnership with Cross River Fiber is spurred by RCN Business' increased demand for high-quality telecommunications services throughout the northeast. The company chose to partner with Cross River Fiber due to its density of network throughout New Jersey and to major data centers operated by Digital Realty, Savvis, Telx, IO, Net Access, Sentinel and Equinix. In addition, RCN Business will have access to Cross River Fiber's 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps services, as well as its dark fiber.
