Orlando, Fla.—(July 16, 2024)—Summit Broadband, a leading fiber-optics telecommunications provider for residential and business customers in Florida, has announced the onboarding of Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBYD), a global entertainment powerhouse and visionary leader in immersive storytelling, as its first 400Gbps customer.
“We are thrilled to welcome Falcon’s Beyond to the Summit Broadband family and provide the digital infrastructure needed to support their continued growth,” said Kurt Van Wagenen, CEO at Summit Broadband. “This marks a significant milestone for Summit, solidifying our position as a leader in delivering innovative connectivity solutions throughout Florida.”
Based in Orlando, Falcon’s Beyond recently expanded its company headquarters into a larger facility to support their rapid growth. They require a robust and performant, low latency network to power their data center, which houses hundreds of high-performance servers and storage systems that are utilized for their content creation pipelines and their home office. While initially exploring a dark fiber solution for data center connectivity, Falcon’s Beyond ultimately opted for a comprehensive “turnkey transport solution” from Summit Broadband.
“We needed a future-proof solution to support our company’s unprecedented level of growth in projects around the world,” said Saham Ali, Executive Vice President of Technology at Falcon’s Beyond. “Summit Broadband’s expertise and ability to deliver a complete solution, including 400Gbps circuits, were instrumental in our decision-making process.”
Summit Broadband provided Falcon’s Beyond with two (2) 400Gbps circuits connecting their home office to their data center for an aggregate throughput of 800Gbps. This high-bandwidth solution ensures business continuity by providing redundancy and high availability. Additionally, all solutions are powered by Ciena’s Wave Server technology, guaranteeing exceptional performance and scalability.
By partnering with Summit Broadband, Falcon’s Beyond can focus on their core business while enjoying the peace of mind of a secure and future-proof network infrastructure. This partnership allows them to seamlessly scale their bandwidth needs as they continue to grow.
