Under the contract, XO Communications will provide an intelligent wide area networking solution to connect the firm’s locations, provide improved application visibility, and support its day-to-day communications that enable attorneys and office personnel to collaborate and access critical corporate databases and applications over a secure, high-performance network.  XO Communications is also providing an additional level of network redundancy for Dickstein Shapiro, with dual fiber connections to each office location.
