New High Capacity Internet connection at the
KCI Airport Maintenance Base
IceWEB, Inc. (OTC BB:IWEB; Graeme Gibson, Chief Technologist of
IceWEB, Inc. today announced the launch of a major project to
provide high capacity fiber and microwave service at the Kansas
City International Airport (“KCI”) maintenance base. The service
will support Aviation Technical Services, Inc. -- (ATS). In late
December, ATS announced it is locating an over 600,000 square-foot
operation at the “Super Hanger” space near KCI Airport. The
aviation maintenance company, which is based in Everett, Wash.,
plans on having 175 to 200 workers at the facility within the first
12 months of operation, with more than 500 working at the facility
over the next three to five years.
Some of the overriding considerations for ATS were carrier
diversity, low latency and the ability to service everything from
one unified network. In addition the company plans both fiber and
wireless operations at the facility, as well as a deploying a
server room. Gibson explained, “Because ATS will be adding many
jobs and network drops based on their growth projections, there was
a need to establish services quickly, wireless can do that. As the
company grows at this location we will eventually transition it to
fiber. According to CTC Executive VP Larry Levin “CTC owns the KC
NAP so we have the ability to put the same addresses and data on
either pipe and provide true diversity of connection to as many as
27 potential carriers and private address space to cabinets at the
data center itself”.
According to ATS Representative J. Burgess “We are very pleased
to have a company like CTC who can do highly complex projects like
this on a short timeline. Their wireless technology can be deployed
in days whereas fiber construction would take months. We need get
to work now, with the confidence that when the fiber option is
needed it will be ready. Then the wireless path will become a
backup, insuring that we are always on-line and ready to serve our
customers.”
Gibson added “Service will initially be deployed from our
offices at Oak Tower downtown over licensed microwave to the North
Kansas City transmitters and then relayed by the revolutionary
Ubiquity air Fiber® to the roof of the complex.” This will allow
the radio link to eventually scale up to 1.4 Gigabit service,
although the initial deployment service will be slower.” IceWEB's
subsidiary CTC is one of the few companies that can provision fiber
and wireless at comparable speeds," said Harold Compton, Sr.,
IceWEB, Inc. CEO.
