Iselin, NJ - Cross River Fiber, LLC, a New Jersey-based, boutique dark fiber optic and telecommunications solutions provider, announced recently it will build a dark fiber network to IO NEW JERSEY, the largest modular data center in existence.

IO NEW JERSEY is the latest modular data center from IO, the leading provider of digital energy technology. Cross River Fiber designs, constructs and maintains its own independent fiber-optic network infrastructure, providing an alternate solution to Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs), for organizations seeking connectivity and bandwidth without restriction.

Cross River Fiber's fully owned and operated fiber optic network, together with IO ANYWHERE's modular data center technology platform, provides customers the access and capacity they need to run their networks. With more than 831,000 square feet of available space, IO NEW JERSEY is a carrier-neutral data center with connectivity to the world's largest network providers. At IO, cross-connects are free and together with Cross River Fiber's ultra-reliable, secure network, IO will offer an alternative bandwidth solution to its New Jersey facility.

"As a specialist in fiber infrastructure and right-of-ways, Cross River Fiber will provide IO NEW JERSEY with dark fiber connectivity that is diverse from other carriers' footprints and completely scalable," states Anthony Wanger, President of IO. "IO looks forward to working with Cross River Fiber to provide customers the bandwidth required to connect the major carrier hotels and financial exchanges in and around the New Jersey metro area."

"Cross River Fiber's custom designed bandwidth options create a unique route for IO," continues Vincenzo Clemente, Founder and CEO of Cross River Fiber. "The data center industry is experiencing rapid growth and as demand is increasing, providing a dark fiber connection into IO NEW JERSEY is the foundation for further strategic fiber builds. The opportunity for future interconnections to international cable landing stations in New Jersey is possible with Cross River Fiber's scalable, dark fiber network solutions."

The build is projected to be complete by late Q4 2011. For more information on Cross River Fiber, visit www.crossriverfiber.com.
