Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW [FREE Stock Trend Analysis]) announced today that it has been selected as the optical cable supplier for the Miami-to-Atlanta segment of Allied Fiber's network-neutral system build. The 754-mile, Miami-to-Atlanta route is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
The network-neutral system is intended to provide an abundant supply of next-generation fiber available for lease, as legacy backhaul network infrastructures can no longer support the exponential growth occurring in the industry. The end users for these physical-layer services include submarine cable systems, large wire line and wireless carriers and network operators, private enterprises, cooperatives, cable television companies, and data center operators.
