 Welcome back to JSATV Live. I'm Keeley Dorian and we are coming to you from the Expo floor here at Channel Partners in Las Vegas. And joining me now, we've got Tim Neely. He's the partner sales manager of Horizon. Thanks so much for coming to talk to us today. You're welcome. My pleasure. Yeah, so you guys have been around for a long time, over 125 years, but we're here today to talk about the business side of Horizon. So let's just talk, let's start there. So what solutions do you offer for businesses and how are you helping your customers? Yeah, so on the partner side, customer side, we offer dedicated internet access, ethernet access, and dark fiber. And it's all on our Horizon-owned fiber optic network. So we have total control over that network. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot and do some special things. But that also gives our partners access to a unique fiber optic footprint in southeastern Ohio and central Ohio, as well as the big metros, Columbus State, and Cincinnati. Yeah. So it's quite an impressive fiber network, as we were just talking about, over 6,000 miles. Over 6,000 miles, and the network is very unique in the southeastern part of the state. Yeah. And you also have some expansions going on in some additional communities I hear. We do. We have a huge initiative. It's called Fiber to the Home. And it's really, we've announced three or four communities that we're actively building fiber to the home. And that's important for two reasons. One, it really helps the enterprise side, the business side, and our partners. It helps us to expand the network with that, those fiber builds, and gets us closer to more businesses and more business parts. But I think the crucial thing is that it also enables Horizon to help in bridging the digital divide that you've seen, especially since the COVID pandemic, and really brought to light that there's a lot of homes that are underserved in the fiber market. It's so true. And so it's absolutely important work that you're doing to get that fiber to the home. It is. It is. And we're going to be announcing more communities that we'll be building to in the near future. Yeah, exciting stuff. Yes. In the meantime, you do have some additional services that you offer, things like data center, connectivity, dark fiber, which we've been talking about. You've got an impressive, what you're calling the infinity super highway from Indianapolis to Chicago. So how are these solutions really catering to the evolving demands that we're seeing? So what we're really seeing, what's driving that, is the finance, health care, manufacturing, really all industries are moving to the cloud. It's just happening. It's exploding. And in turn, the need for robust data center connectivity has exploded as well. So that really leads to what the super highway and the fiber network can do for these hyperscalers and the business enterprises. That allows them, gives them the bandwidth that they need to drive and support the cloud applications that they're running. Yeah, absolutely. So in closing here, we've talked about a lot of projects and a lot of things that you guys have coming up. Is there anything in the near future that you would like to tease here for our audience here in Las Vegas? Yeah, sure. So for Horizon, we're always building fiber one way or another. We're going to be building fiber. Who knows what that looks like? We like to say at Horizon that we're building fiber 300 feet at a time to get to a new customer every day. And then the next customer 300 feet across our network. So that's the big thing is that we're always expanding. We're always building. But I think a big thing that we're adding this year, we're deploying is 400 gig in our network core. So 400 gig in our network core that we deploy will also be able to upgrade to 600 gig and then 800 gig. So as you're seeing these crazy bandwidths, I can remember six, seven years ago, I sell my first 100 gig circuit and it was like crazy. Everybody was like, wow, 100 gig circuit. Now it's not so great. People are spinning up 400 gig circuits and it's amazing the amount of bandwidth that is indeed these days in our industry. It's impressive to see that number just skyrocket. It is, very impressive. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so where can we go to learn more and just to watch what you're doing? Just www.horizonconnects.com. You can always call me, Tim Nealy. I'm on the LinkedIn and all the social media that you'd like to find me on except Facebook. I'm barred from that. That sounds like another story for another time. Another time. All right, sounds great. Well, thanks so much for stopping by. We really appreciate it and hope you're having a wonderful time here at Channel Partners. I am, enjoy the rest of the show. You as well and thanks to our viewers for tuning and stick around. We've got a lot more to come here from the Channel Partners Expo Hall. Happy networking.
