MUMBAI: Time Warner Telecom Inc., one of the leading providers of managed voice and data networking solutions for businesses in the US, has announced the expansion of its 180-mile Dallas fiber network into Frisco, one of the fastest growing cities in North Texas.

Time Warner Telecom extends its local networks into suburban office parks and downtown commercial areas to meet customer demand for an alternative fiber facilities-based choice for communications services. This Sonet network is similar to the company's 43 other networks across the country that deliver national business-class voice and data solutions, locally and nationally, states an official release.

"Customer demand typically includes the need for business continuity, diverse routing, data storage, metro Ethernet and a variety of next generation services that only fiber, facilities-based carriers, like Time Warner Telecom and larger incumbents, can offer," says Time Warner Telecom's vice president and general manager in Dallas John Schuchart.

"This network extension also connects Frisco businesses to our 800-mile fiber ring that runs between Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston, as well as to our national network of 20,000 route miles of fiber and 10 Gbps IP backbone," adds Schuchart. "Time Warner Telecom offers communications solutions that enable businesses to converge their networks, reduce their total communications costs and improve their operating efficiencies."
