Data Fortress Metropolitan-Area-Network

Data Fortress Technologies is the leading provider of network infrastructure services that enable unconstrained information exchange within and between businesses. Data Fortress builds and operates an office-to-office, 100% optical network that enables customers to create an efficient, cost-effective network that breaks economic and performance barriers imposed in the last mile by complex legacy telecom infrastructures. With its current assets, a data center, access to a scalable bandwidth, an optical metro network, top quality managed services capabilities and a high performance IP network, Data Fortress is seen as a formidable network service provider (NSP).

The Company creates a fiber link between its customer’s premises and existing trunk fiber in Vancouver, using Gigabit Ethernet technology. Gigabit Ethernet is a recently developed standard that has revolutionized data transfer rates. This technology offers far superior performance over traditional wide area services in terms of speed, cost savings, scalability, quality and provisioning time.

Data Fortress’ fiber optic network ring is used to connect commercial buildings in the downtown core of Vancouver in a private metropolitan area network, as well as connecting to the Internet backbone. The diagram below illustrates the set up of a MAN, using Gigabit Ethernet technology.
