Kansas Fiber Network, a consortium of 29 carriers across the State of Kansas, has upgraded its network capacity at the carrier hotel at 1102 Grand in Kansas City to 100G DWDM.

The upgrade comes in response to an increase in demand from carrier and business customers in the rural Kansas market who require high bandwidth services, operator of the carrier hotel said in a statement. KsFiberNet offers private line (TDM and Ethernet), dedicated Internet access, wireless backhaul and long distance over the network.

Steven Dorf, KsFiberNet president, said, “The increased capacity further confirms our commitment to provide top of the line services that allow our customers to meet their business objectives and fuel economic growth across the state of Kansas.”

Hunter Newby, joint venture partner at 1102 Grand, said the city had been thriving with fiber builds and network development that took place in recent years. “As one of the fastest growing telecommunication hubs in the Midwest, 1102 Grand looks forward to providing connectivity to the innovative and ever-growing business community in and around Kansas City,” he said.
