Colo Solutions Responds To Critical Shortage Of Carrier-Neutral Colocation Facilities

Company opens network of Carrier-Neutral Colocation Facilities in metropolitan business districts where carrier-neutral was previously unavailable for next generation service providers seeking to deploy Voice, Data, and Internet services.

MELBOURNE, FLORIDA... MARCH 30, 2000... The practicality of new high-speed Voice, Data, and Internet services reaching into second-tier metropolitan cities moved closer to reality today when Colo Solutions announced the opening of its network of carrier-neutral colocation facilities in previously untapped cities.

"Carrier-neutral colocation facilities have been opening in tier-one major metropolitan cities for quite some time," stated Colo Solutions founder and president, Ron Stafford, "however these companies have not ventured into the uncharted territory of the tier-two cities... and this is a territory being sought after by many CLECs, Data CLECs, DSL Providers, ISPs, ASPs, and other companies seeking to deploy services requiring high speed bandwidth access. We are working side-by-side with these next generation service providers to expedite their service roll-outs in record time."

Colo Solutions was officially launched today as it announced the availability of five operational facilities located in Nashville, TN, San Antonio, TX, and  Kissimmee, Orlando, and Jacksonville, FL.

Colo Solutions provides state-of-the-art carrier-neutral colocation facilities with secured access in prime telecom locations. The company is unique in that it  provides these facilities in cities where carrier-neutral colocation facilities were previously unavailable. Each facility offers a carrier-rich environment with direct access to multiple carriers and backbone providers,  enabling a broad range of scalability, network, and route diversity, as well as cross-connect capability to other customers or carriers. Colo Solutions facilities conform to the highest telco industry standards and provide systems that assure power availability, temperature control, and fire suppression.

Customers taking advantage of carrier-neutral facilities have the ability to choose their own connectivity options, therefore minimizing capital expenditures, lowering operational costs, and decreasing time-to-market for new service offerings. Colo Solutions provides rapid access to superior network and facility resources, allowing customers to focus their time and capital on their core business.

The company boasts an impressive list of customers, one of which is 2nd Century Communications, a nationwide next-generation service provider. Colo Solutions  provides carrier-neutral colocation and Web hosting services to 2nd Century for the deployment of their comprehensive technology services in prime high-tech locations within targeted metropolitan business districts.

"Colo Solutions was the first to open carrier-neutral colocation facilities in several of our targeted markets," said Mark Damico, vice president of business operations at 2nd Century. "Colo Solutions provides carrier-grade, environmentally secure facilities. They helped us install our switching equipment and services on time to meet our business plan goals. Best of all, they've been very flexible and operate with a can-do attitude on every project."

Colo Solutions plans expansion into over fourteen cities within the year 2000. The company's mission is to create a network of secure, reliable, cost-effective carrier-neutral colocation facilities that offer a suite of telecommunications services for customers that require carrier choices in support of bandwidth intensive applications. Today, Colo Solutions has carrier-neutral  colocation sites readily available for the immediate deployment of customer unique networks.

Colo Solutions will introduce their new Carrier-Neutral Colocation Facilities and Services at Telecom Business 2000 Silicon Valley, Santa Clara Convention Center, Booth #704, April 4-6. For additional information on Colo Solutions please visit www.colosolutions.com.
