Waveform Technology Installs Metro Ethernet Service for Macomb County

TROY, Mich., April 30 -- Waveform Technology, a leading Metro Detroit area commercial data center operator and Internet service provider, is now supplying fiber optic Internet access to Macomb County. The new connection serves both Macomb's 2,500 County Employees and MACnet, the county's own private network, by providing redundancy to the current Internet circuit.

Macomb County is among the first customers to connect to a recently constructed expansion of Waveform Technology's southeast Michigan fiber optic network.

Macomb County chose Waveform Technology for numerous reasons, but primarily because Waveform's metropolitan fiber optic network provides complete path redundancy from the county's primary Internet connection. "Owning our own network allowed us to meet the specific route stipulations that Macomb Country required," said Waveform Technology representative Noel Montales. "It provides us more flexibility than other ISPs that are just reselling local phone company assets."

Price was also an important consideration, and Waveform's independent network allows for Internet connections, and other metropolitan data services, for a fraction of the cost that other carriers charge.

Waveform Technology provisioned a 100Mbps fiber optic Metro Ethernet circuit for Macomb County. Metro Ethernet was chosen for its versatility and simplicity of design.

Macomb County continually invests in telecommunication infrastructure, both to attract businesses and to streamline county and local government activities. MACnet, Macomb County's fiber optic network, connects fifty-three separate county government buildings, as well as many school districts and city halls.
