LANSING – Fiber optic Internet service provider Arialink last week completed a major network expansion, launching a direct fiber optic peering initiative at major Internet hubs in Chicago and Washington, D.C. improving communications quality and speed.
Network peering is a direct fiber connection made between two networks for the purpose of routing customers? traffic privately over very high capacity links ? designed to improve quality and speed. These Internet peers are considered “Tier-1” connections.
This is a contrast to smaller networks that rely on other providers to deliver their customers? information to the Internet on their behalf, often adding latency, unnecessary router ?hops? and bandwidth bottlenecks. Providers with Tier-1 connections offer advantages to customers that include faster speed, greater dependability, rapid scalability and lower cost.
“Because we own both the local fiber network and now, connections to two of the largest U.S. Internet hubs, we have supercharged and modernized Mid-Michigan?s Internet capabilities with more capacity than ever before available.” said Arialink CEO Jason Schreiber. “We give businesses a pure optical fiber end-to-end connection between their office and the world.”
Established in 2003, Arialink is one of Mid-Michigan?s largest provider of high speed fiber optic internet and phone service.
