 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Laura Noland here in sunny Miami, here at Metro Connect USA 2022. Joining me today is Chris Lodge. He is the COO and interim CEO of United Fiber and Data. Welcome back to JSA TV. Thank you. Thanks for having me. For our viewers who may not know much about UFD, can you tell us a little bit about the company and your role? So United Fiber and Data, we built a diverse network from New York City to Asper and Virginia bypassing all the major routes that we have known about in the past to build ours. And it's up live and we've been turning customers up on a daily basis. We had a lot of news coming out of UFD recently. We had Deutsche Telecom, East Link, and another global data center that was leveraging UFD's long-haul fiber optic backbone outside the I-95 corridor in the mid-Atlantic, which is huge news. So can you give us an update on those developments? Yes. So they were turned up active. Two of the three were a dark service where we provide the regen sites, the whole nine yards. One of them was an optical customer and they are happy with the service that we provide it. We've done about six or seven more since those press releases. Wonderful. So that was Q4 of 2021. And now you're still having those developments with those huge announcements and partnerships. What's ahead for 2022 for UFD? That's a good one. We are looking to tap some more data centers, so densify what we already have. So what we've done and put into the budget for this year is look to hit some more facilities in Ashburn, northern New Jersey and New York City to densify the UFD backbone that's already there. Great. We'll look for more to come from UFD. In the meantime, where can our viewers go to learn more? UFD.com. Easy enough. Yes. Thank you, Chris, for joining us again. Thanks for having me. Thank you. And thank you, viewers, for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcast. Happy networking.
