It is very appropriate to characterize New York City as "strong." The city is resilient, its people are tough, and its spirit is indomitable.
A strong city like New York needs a strong communications network to unite its people and institutions and then connect them to the world. More than nearly any other metropolitan area, New York City has an unlimited appetite for fast, reliable, and secure networks.
The tw telecom Manhattan team is proud to serve enterprises throughout the area by collaborating with them to develop customized telecom solutions that meet their needs and solve their challenges.
In addition to tw telecom's strong business ethernet network and services portfolio, the local team's ongoing dedication to cultivating and maintaining key relationships with some of the city's top real estate firms and property managers is instrumental in their success. Key partners of tw telecom Manhattan include ABS Partners Real Estate, The Paramount Group, Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF), and several more.
tw telecom Manhattan has embarked on a number of initiatives to focus on showing how highly reliable telecommunications providers contribute to the success of the commercial real estate landscape.
tw telecom is a strong participant in instrumental city-wide programs, such as ConnectNYC and WiredNYC. ConnectNYC seeks to expand high-speed broadband connectivity throughout the city and the outer boroughs, and does so by awarding small and medium-sized businesses and organizations with fiber connectivity directly to their place of business.
WiredNYC, a program offered in collaboration with the mayor, focuses on implementing building letter grades based upon their telecommunication infrastructure within the building. Because of tw telecom's secure, scalable and elastic network capabilities, this helps the commercial building with their letter grading and in filling space within their buildings.
"We understand the difficulties that businesses face in obtaining quality broadband infrastructure in N.Y.C.," said Robert Bianco, VP and general manager of tw telecom Manhattan. "And we are here to continue to change that - by enabling N.Y.C. business customers to have more choices, and increase their redundancy and business continuity."
"Working with tw telecom Manhattan has been a pleasure. They've been sufficient for all of our construction requirements, and provide excellent customer service and bandwidth that is sufficient for all of our high use users," said Jay Caseley executive managing director for ABS. "I never hear a peep from any of my clients with respect to a glitch or downtime. And, as any property manager, the less I hear, the happier I am. tw telecom delivers quickly and reliably for all the growing number of tenants who subscribe to them."
Our Piece of the Apple
tw telecom has built its own fiber networks across the country, including nearly 200 miles in the Manhattan area to deliver faster, better and easier network solutions to businesses. With this network, tw telecom has the reach to connect customers across the city and throughout the country by accessing the firm's 30,000 miles of nation-wide fiber.
tw telecom completed a major national market expansion plan to accelerate by 17%, the density of the company's metro-fiber footprint in 27 of its existing markets, including Manhattan and surrounding areas.
"The expansion is a tremendous opportunity for our company and wonderful news for this metropolitan area as we head into 2014," said Bianco. "We'll also be growing our sales and operations teams so we can provide exceptional service to our new customers and create new opportunities for companies in the region to use tw telecom's secure, scalable and predictable network connections to move businesses forward." tw telecom's customer service is backed by two centralized national operations centers on a 24/7/365 basis.
