October 15, 2009 – More Carrier Fiber

Another carrier is in our facility. Level (3) Communications pulled fiber into our cross-connect room, joining our other providers.

As these photos show, the fiber was brought into the cross-connect room from our meet-me vaults, where it will be put into a protective conduit and run along ladder racks out into the meet-me room.

October 13, 2009 – Pulling Carrier Fiber

The first two provider carriers are in Phoenix NAP’s cross-connect room. AGL Networks and AboveNet pulled fiber from our meet-me vaults located near the edge of our property into our facility.

As indicated in these photos, AboveNet’s fiber backbone features diverse east and west routes around Phoenix, and our meet-me vaults are configured to support multiple providers.

September 8, 2009 Visit – Meet-me Vaults, Carrier Fiber and Cross-connect Room

Recently our innerducts were pulled into the building. Each of our redundant meet-me vaults (the concrete encased trench that goes from the street to the cross-connect room) has 8 metal conduits with three innerducts per conduit. Providers trench from their manholes to our manhole and pull fiber into our building.

Currently AGL and AboveNet have trenched to our meet-me vaults and are waiting to pull all the way into our building for the launch of our meet-me room.

August 7, 2009 Visit – Flooring and Trenching

Our first shipment of raised flooring is arriving and the project continues to move along nicely. Work is also underway by network providers trenching into our meet-me vault.

June 17, 2009 Visit – Meet-me Vaults

Installing concrete-encased meet-me vaults is a serious task. We have two vaults, and they’re located near the edge of the property. This makes it easier for carrier providers to come into the vaults from the major fiber trail running along the street, since they will not have to perform as much trench work to get to them.
