It's nine o'clock in the morning in the heart of your nation's stock market - The opening bell has signaled the start of a new day of trading. Billions of bits of data flows through the different communications mediums, transmitting orders and sales, providing the steady flow of currency throughout the market. It's a different story halfway around the world - The market comes to a close, with last-minute orders frantically pouring in. Both of these markets face the same dilemma of questioned stability and management. The truth is, communications-based industries make up hundreds of trillions of dollars of the world's vital economy. In dealing with such a fragile, yet vast portion of your nation's economy, failure is not acceptable. Management is the key to preserving your network and preserving your wealth - Who's managing yours?

FiberNET Communications, Incorporated, specializes in such work. We realize that every bit that passes through our network isn't just a bit - It could be a dollar. It could be a thousand. A million. It could be critical defense plans that could spell success or failure. It could be anything. FiberNET Communications is prepared to connect your nation's crucial components with highly advanced fiber optic communications systems. We maintain contracts, valued in the tens of billions of dollars, to light and manage entire star systems using fiber-optic and near-lightspeed communications systems. Regardless of the location or use, FiberNET Communications is prepared and fully ready to customize and build an advanced networking solution for your various demanding applications and nations.

We base all designs and networks on our award-winning Advanced Regional Terabit Telecommunications System, or ARTTS for short. Based upon the latest Transmission Control Protocols and relying in part on existing Internet Protocol technology, the ARTTS is designed as a self-healing network of peering stations and smaller networks. The capacity of each set of ARTTS cables is 67.2 Terabits per second (Tbps), or 8.4 Terabytes per second (TB/s). Employing dense wave division multiplexing, each line, or set of cables, can transmit light over multiple wavelengths on each pair of fiber strands. This allows each fiber strand to transport the massive amount of data that it is capable of, and thus, it is a valuable asset in telecommunications.

A list of the standard features of an ARTTS-based network is attached below.

1) Dense wave division multiplexing - time-division multiplexed fiber strands multiply the amount of throughput threefold.

2) Aggregationability - Each line may be aggregated to form a part of your standard national backbones and links.

3) Line division - Each fiber-optic cable is made up of 422 aggregated OC-3072 lines. Service Providers linking to the FiberNET network may connect directly to the network through division of each fiber cable into its seperate OC-3072 lines (Approx. 159.3Gbps per OC-3072).

4) Line availability - Contracts with fiber cable production facilities allows FiberNET Communications to maintain a two-month undersea cable turnaround time. However, due to technical limitations, a guaranteed turnaround time on land-based cable laying is not feasible.

5) Out with the old - FiberNET's advanced conduit-based laying system allows our crews to lay empty conduits alongside land-based cables, providing for massive upgradeability. Using this conduit cable system, peering stations can remove obsolete or damaged fiber from the conduits, and literally blow new fiber through the conduit, to the nearest repeater or peering station.

6) Advanced Managed Peering (AMP) - Each peering station will be owned and operated by FiberNET and staffed with the finest network technicians available. Each nation's/region's lines can be set up in a peering arragement in a matter of microseconds. This allows for the fastest rerouting and self-healing possible. If one link goes down, the load is distributed to both conserve bandwidth and provide the shortest route possible. Our privately-developed Border Gateway Protocol version Eight system is the core routing protocol of the network, and is fully interoperable with other versions of Border Gateway Protocol. BGPv8 is fully path-vector based, and makes routing judgements based on the policies and rules of the networks and peering arrangements.

7) FiberNET Communications can fully manage your national network in state-of-the-art Network Operations Centers based in the datacenters that will house the peering points. In any given Network Operations Center, FiberNET staff can manage entire regions of links in addition to peering, allowing for the highest level of control over the network. FiberNET datacenters maintain the highest level of security - Biometric scanners can scan fingers, hands, faces and eyes, and high-security mantrap-style scanning areas ensure that only one person at a time may enter the NOC or computer rooms. Voiceprint identification services may be added at any time for additional security. We have 24/7 closed-circuit camera systems broadcasting feeds directly to the NOC and directly to a databank where an entire month of video feed can be stored. Private cages, vaults, colocation services and network cross-connects are always available for use. More information on our datacenters are included in the white papers which will soon be made available.

This is just a short insight into what FiberNET Communications, Inc., can provide for your nation or your region. Technical service overviews and white papers are available below. In order for a network map and a formal quote to be produced, please send a map of your nation, cities included, to the main FiberNET campus. We thank you for your time, and we wish you the best of luck in your endeavours.
