Urbancom.net the network operator of the CSFN executes long term agreement to provide 10 Gbps ultra-high speed fiber optic data connection to the Lanco Group of Companies.
Urbancom.net will be providing a ultra-high speed 10 Gbps fiber optic connection to connect multiple facilities of the Lanco Group of Companies on the CSFN network. The Lanco World Headquarters in Homewood IL, the MiJack Products Headquarters in Hazel Crest IL and the companies disaster recovery data center in Oak Brook IL will be interconnected on this fiber connection providing a dedicated 10 Gbps private network to the company. Construction on the link has been completed and the customer is expected to be operational on the new network by August 15, 2016.
The 10 Gbps connection one of the highest speed available to commercial users puts Lanco and MiJack at the forefront of ultra-high speed connectivity.
The 10 Gbps connection is capable of transmitting 10,000 Mbps this would allow an entire DVD movie can be transferred in about 3 seconds. Currently, Google Fiber in the pilot markets where it is deployed can only offer customers 1 Gbps service. The CSFN network is offering commercial speeds which are 10 times faster that Google Fiber and 1000 times faster than the average US home internet connection. This rates the CSFN network as one of the most robust fiber networks in the country.
