 Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scato-Cutaya here in fabulous Honolulu. Take a look at this aerial footage from Excite Modula of PTC 2019. And joining me here today, my good friend, Eric Cachal. Been friends with him for 20 years now. Of course he's the CEO, president of United Cable Company, UCC. So we've got big news. Exciting to talk about. We have a new project, Eric, called the UCC Hudson Boar Pipe. Tell us a little bit about it. We've looked at a project going across the Hudson. A few others have, through private conduit, through boar pipes, through midtown. And, you know, we looked at this project from a southernmost approach, going through, you know, through bedrock and through the Hudson Riverbed, instead of going through public transportation. So no longer would I have to reach out to the Amtrak, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, other, you know, right-of-ways GWB. We're actually going to build it ourselves from Jersey City to Battery Park and connect in five of the largest data centers, known to man. 755 Saquakis. Equinix at campus. Newark. Obviously the entire building, but Meet Me Room in Newark, 165 Halsey. Going to 95 Christopher Columbus Street in Jersey City. Crossing over from Morris Canal Park right over Battery Park City. There'll be two pipes, five and a half inches in diameter. Four and a half inch inside, inner diameter. And going into Battery Park City and extending onto 60 Hudson Street to our friends at Data Grid and DRT. And then going up to Equinix and 118 and all the tenants that are 118. So kind of a buried project in New York. A wet project with two boar pipes coming across the Hudson. And Terrestrial, New Jersey and best part is we're equipping day one with 3456 fiber pairs. And one of the conduits and the other condo will be left empty for future use. But we will be supplying much of the much needed infrastructure in New York City that's lacking today. Yeah, sure. And Terrestrial subsea cable, absolutely your expertise. So we're talking new modern fiber infrastructure. What does that mean for Hudson, New Jersey, New York area? Well, that means a whole plethora of new fiber coming in. The latest and greatest spider web cable coming in, no longer ribbon fiber. We're looking at the 3456, which is just a little bit larger than your conventional 864 cables coming into Manhattan. The nice part is when we stub it off at the manholes, which all you'll see is manholes on either side of the Hudson, will then take 1728's around the city to other destinations. So for us brand new infrastructure, the other infrastructure that's there today probably was laid in 2001 and 2006. And again, going through public transportation. So this is completely diverse, secure, 100 feet below the Hudson River bed, something we've kind of talked about in the past. And the best part is the original team that's sold for me in the past couple of places, Tyco, Hibernia, those great destinations are also the team at UCC. So the whole sales and marketing team is intact. As a real operational and we brought on some new venture capital people that will be helping us out, some old friends from old places. So diversity through security and an expertise. I'm loving this. So what is the timeline of this install? Timeline, we're looking to fall right now. The long tent and poles permitting, as you know, we're going through like NOAA. You've got to go through a bunch of different fisheries, obviously Army Corps of Engineers. So a few hurdles to get through, but when the infrastructure would do it and New York City, the mayor and people behind bringing infrastructure into the city, do it's a big part of that as well to bring in this type of infrastructure from Jersey, hooking up local governments in both Jersey and New York. It's really one of those projects that, you know, is something you can hang your hat on one day, you know, and actually put an epitaph behind it. It's a perfect project, perfect background, and no longer one of the ones we're working across the world in. It's in our backyard. We're 30 minutes away, so it's great. Well, certainly something to sing to the kids at night. They will be there for the drilling part, yes, absolutely. The big construction stuff that kids love, even this guy. So where do we go to learn more? I definitely want to know more about this project. Absolutely, you can learn more on our website, unitedcablecompany.com. I'll be happy to go there. We have a great JSNA walkout from a few years ago that's also there on that site, so you can view that, but we're there and it's under the Board Pie project, Hudson Board Pie project. You'll see more. So hopefully you'll see this video up soon, and many more to come as we announce both our drill team, our terrestrial team, and the people that will be doing all our desktop surveys, marine surveys, and our permitting. So that will be coming out shortly. Couldn't think of a better team to leave this project for sure. We're excited to hear it. We're excited to hear it. We will be covering this story as this project unfolds, so keep it tuned in here for more. Live in the construction date, the start of the board. We're going to be there. It only takes 45 days across to Hudson, so it's very quick, you know, very quick. I love the footage already. 60 meters a day. Yeah, that's it. All right, so you heard it here first, UnitedCableCompany.com, huge news, especially for the New Jersey New Yorkers, and actually knowing that New York is such an international hub, it's really a global story as well. It is. You're looking at those major hubs anywhere from 700 tenants to 1,000 tenants in each building, let alone all the people we can reach on the way. The interesting thing is those buildings, the long halls that we'll be providing, there will only be 12 splice points. So for us, there's 6 dB loss with fusion splicing. Really, what that means to everybody? Virtual cross-connects. We're 10.2 miles from any one destination. This is virtual cross-connect world. No, you're buying pairs of fiber. We're not selling lit. We're not selling everything else. Boys stated just dark fiber, point-to-point, and the virtual cross-connects between those data centers. So easy as it can be. Love it. Thank you, Eric. It is always. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV. Happy networking.
