Fibertech, a leading provider of metropolitan bandwidth services in the Eastern U.S., is providing IPR with multiple protected GigE services via its fiber infrastructure. This will provide direct fiber optic connectivity for businesses from Philadelphia to Wilmington, with options of Ethernet up to 40 Gbs, SONET, OC-192 and DWDM services.
