FiberLight’s Culpeper Metro Ethernet Project On Target With Team Fishel Construction Effort

CULPEPER, Va. – FiberLight, LLC announced today they are 25 percent complete linking the Virginia metro fiber network to the NAP of the Capital Region, Terremark Worldwide facility. The completed 130-mile fiber optic network will connect Culpeper, Va., with 300 miles of fiber connecting Baltimore, Washington, DC and Northern, Va.

“We have crews working simultaneously in Haymarket, Gainesville, Warrenton, Culpeper, and Manassas to connect Terremark by mid spring.” FiberLight Chief Development Officer Ron Kormos said. “A number of companies have expressed interest as the project is a lower cost carrier alternative offering high reliability and low latency. The benefit is enhanced by our projected path past carrier local switching offices (LSOs) and data centers.”

Fifty Team Fishel Teammates are boring through rock in teams to connect the high count, high capacity fiber to Terremark by Spring. The state-of-the-art all wave enhanced single mode fiber optic cable is being made to FiberLight’s specifications, has zero water peak, and a 40-year life expectancy, officials said.

“Because the project is 100 percent below ground, it’s protected from ice storms, it’s aesthetically pleasing, and it reduces restoration time,” said Randy Blair, Team Fishel Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are very pleased to be working together with the FiberLight management team and view ourselves as strategic partners who have developed a history of successful fiber builds over the last 15 years.”
