 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Lauren Oland coming to you from ITW 2021. Joining me today is Chris Lodge, Chief Operating Officer and Interim CEO at United Fiber and Data at Chris. Welcome back to JSA TV. Great to be here, thank you. Well, we have a lot of news coming out of UFD and we'll get to all of that in just a moment. But first, if you could, tell our viewers about UFD and your role. United Fiber and Data started with a simple concept and that was to bypass the I-95 Route 1 corridor in the mid-Atlantic northeast part of the United States. And we have successfully built a wholly owned and engineered backbone between the major markets of New York City, Northern New Jersey and the data center capital of Ashburn, Virginia. Well, this is the time for ITW. UFD is making a huge splash with a pair of international deals. Can you give us a sneak peek about some of these partnerships and how UFD is helping these global companies enhance their connectivity in the US? Yeah, this year has been a great ramp for United Fiber and Data. We, as you mentioned, the announcements will come out shortly, but just in the past month and a half alone, we've signed three international companies, one a global hosting and data center customer, another international telecom customer, and then on our new optical wavelength services, we announced one of the premier global telecom companies, a major European provider on our lit services. All right, so lots of news, three deals, not two. So we've got three deals to look out for around ITW. You guys are staying busy, but what's next for UFD? Right now, we're looking at what we're called densifying our current backbone and looking at some alternatives there that hopefully we'll be able to announce here later in the year of, you know, I'll call it Spurs, but might not be the right term to use off of the current backbone that'll strengthen the network and also continue to provide our customers with the service that they've grown to. One of the other things I would like to say is I mean, besides those new deals, this year has been great. We've signed and turned up successfully multiple expansion services with our existing customer base, which are also some of the global data center and telecom providers. United Fiber and Data keeps going and growing. Chris, where can our viewers go to learn more? UFD.com, United Fiber and Data. So our acronym, UFD.com or our Facebook website, link you over to any one of them on the sales team or the marketing group and we'll get back to you. All right, you heard it here, go check them out and watch out for those headlines from United Fiber and Data. Thank you so much, Chris, for your time. We always enjoy talking with you. Thank you, Laura. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcast. Happy networking.
