Spread Networks Lights New Dark Fiber Network Connecting America’s Two Largest Financial Centers

New Latency Standard between Chicago and New York Operational at under 13.33 milliseconds Round- Trip

Ridgeland, MS – August 16, 2010 – Spread Networks Inc., a privately owned telecommunications provider, today announced the lighting of its all new dark fiber network setting a new ultra low-latency standard between Chicago and New York.

To bring this ultra low-latency offering to the market, Spread Networks trenched a long-haul route on the shortest possible path connecting New York and Chicago. Spread Networks customers get their own fiber pair to operate their own private network using dedicated equipment from one of several certified network equipment providers. The route is now operational—customers have lit their networks using equipment from their selected equipment providers, and are achieving latency well under the company’s guaranteed 13.33 milliseconds round-trip.

“Spread Networks was built from the ground up to meet demand from enterprise customers for diverse, low latency connectivity between the nation’s largest financial centers” said David Barksdale, CEO of Spread Networks. “Spread Networks’ customers are now operational on our secure, ultra low latency, state-of-the-art system, and we are pleased to report that they are achieving sub-13.33 milliseconds speeds across a very secure operating environment.”

Spread Networks, together with several network equipment providers, offers a comprehensive solution that provides customers with infrastructure, equipment and services needed to run their own private network—the best way to manage consistent low latency and network security. Without the drag of traditional telecommunications offerings, Spread Networks provides its customers with a private network to achieve a clean speed,’ allowing data to run as close as possible to the true speed of light through fiber.

Spread Networks worked closely with optical equipment manufacturers in search of the lowest-latency solutions. These network equipment providers include: ADVA Optical Networking, Ciena® Corporation and Infinera. All offer tailored hardware/service package solutions that meet the 13.33ms requirement.
