 to JSATV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott-Okitaya, here on the floor of Telecom Exchange NYC, that's 2016. Joining us here today, Mr. Mike Severit, he is the Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Cross River Fiber. Mike, welcome to JSATV. Thanks, Shami. Thanks for having us. Looking forward to another great telecom exchange, 2016. Thank you, and congratulations to you and your Cross River Fiber colleagues celebrating five years. So it's been five years of success, expansion, growth. Tell our viewers who may not know a little bit about Cross River. Absolutely, yes. So it's five years to almost to the date, June, 2011, when my partner, Enzo Clemente, started up Cross River. And it's a pretty simple concept. Cross River Fiber is a New Jersey-based fiber operator, builder, and provider of dark fiber and management services. So coming into our fifth year as kind of still a new company, we're really excited about what we've accomplished so far with a little over 350 route miles in New Jersey and supporting kind of the large ecosystem in New Jersey with financial, vertical, healthcare, content media, fiber to the tower, if you will. But it's been a very long road of continued success and a lot of hard challenges which we've overcome. So really looking forward to the next five years and plus. And today we had a wonderful CEO round table that Cross River participated in, talking about the need and the network infrastructure opportunities and challenges of dark fiber builds here in the Metro New York, New Jersey area. Of course, New Jersey Cross River Fiber is a big name in that marketplace. Can you tell us what's your key differentiators? Sure, our niche has always been, what Enzo and I started the company's been, how can we be different niche and nimble compared to our big competitors, the big folks? So Cross River's secret to success has been, we're local, we're homegrown, New Jersey natives, if you will, and we know the landscape pretty well. So we try to keep it simple. We know how to navigate the political hurdles and get our cable up in a predictable timeframe where we can answer to our customer demands quickly and pretty much give them deliverables that they can live by, we can live by. And we're a niche nimble boutique like company and that's where we're always gonna continue to strive to be even as we continue to grow. Yeah, flexible nimble. There's certainly hallmarks of the Cross River brand. And we've seen, as we mentioned earlier, a lot of expansion. Can you give us a little bit of insight into some more expansion knows that you might have? Sure, sure. Like I said, we have today just around 350 miles of fiber deployed in New Jersey. We've recently announced some new fiber expansion plans to head down to Central and South Jersey to the new landing stations. So we're really excited about that. We're looking, our niche is always to build as much as we can, diverse routes, latency sensitive, but we're looking to grow significantly in New Jersey and maybe push into some other borders down the road. So particularly as I have the Chief Strategy Officer right here next to me, I have to ask this question. When you peer inside your crystal ball, can you tell us with your vision of, as Chief Strategy Officer of Cross River, what do you see the next six to 12 months? I see a very exciting time for Cross River. A lot of growth opportunities, a lot of new fiber builds and into some new verticals. Obviously, we see a lot of big growth with the international markets coming into New Jersey, especially with the new cables coming in. Big content, big cable count type deals and a lot of growth into the, I think the wireless back wall sectors as well, which we're really focused heavily on and we're hiring and growing the Cross River team to support and be ready for that growth. Exciting news for sure. Mike, it's always a pleasure. And for our viewers who want to learn more, it's Cross River Fiber.com. Absolutely new website, go check it out. Great website by the way. And again, that's a company to watch for big expansion news on the horizon. Happy fifth birthday. And here's to another fabulous five years ahead and more. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV.
