AiNET Releases Placing a Manhole, a Glimpse into Building the Washington, DC Fiber Optic Network

A rare, behind-the-curtain look into building a state-of-the-art fiber optic network in historic Georgetown; part of AiNETs major deployment in downtown Washington, DC that will connect government and business directly to AiNETs CyberNAP data center. Washington, DC April 25, 2012 AiNET, an innovative leader in the design, construction, operation, and support of Internet data centers, fiber optic networks, and cloud services supporting critical applications, today released the first part in a series showing the complex task of building a state-of-the-art fiber optic communications network. This process starts with the placement of a manhole, here at 30th and K Streets, NW, in the historic Georgetown section of Washington, DC. While everyone has seen manhole covers, few of us ever see the underground concrete handling and encasement work that is the manhole itself. Part one may be viewed on the AiNET website. The work was performed as part of AiNETs construction of a diverse, 10,000 fiber mile network throughout the central business district of Washington, DC and is part of AiNETs large regional fiber optic network. It provides virtually unlimited connectivity between government and commercial locations and AiNET data centers including CyberNAP in applications such as Disaster Recovery and Continuity of Operations (DR/COOP), and AiNETs high-performance, cloud storage services. About AiNET AiNET of Beltsville, MD is a leader in engineering, construction, mission-critical technology operations for Internet data centers and fiber optic networks supporting secure, critical applications. The 19 yearold firm currently owns and operates three SAS 70 Type II data centers in MD, including the only certified TIA-942 Tier IV data center. All data centers are protected by AiNETs patented power protection technology. CyberNAP will open in July of 2012.
