| CO-LOCATION.com uses the Level(3)™ global network
for it's primary IP backbone. Level(3)™
has built a global communications network
unlike any other. It is the most advanced
communications platform in the world.
It is the first network to be completely
optimized for advanced IP (Internet
Protocol) technology, and the first
to be fully and continuously upgradeable
- enabling Level(3)™ to continue to
deploy new, superior technology as it
is developed.
The network was designed to evolve
as technology evolves, taking advantage
of the fact that a new generation
of fiber becomes available every 18-24
months. Additionally, optoelectronics
- the equipment that controls the
flow of information through a network
much as valves control the flow of
water through a pipe - are improving
even faster. Doubling in price performance
every 9-10 months, optoelectronics
is the fastest improving technology
in industrial history.
In 30 months, Level(3)™ built a 20,000-mile
multi-conduit intercity network and
33 multi-conduit metropolitan networks
in North America and Europe. Additionally,
the company constructed a transatlantic
cable system connecting North America
and Europe, and has secured 5.6 million
square feet of technical space in
74 data centers serving 57 North American
markets and 12 European markets.
