If you’ve seen the trucks and workers digging trenches and laying cables along Congress Avenue lately, you’re witnessing the arrival of the latest in high-speed Internet service coming to Danburg Properties of Boca Raton’s commercial, office and warehouse properties.

Danburg is working closely with Hotwire Business Solutions to bring new broadband Internet capabilities to all our tenants. Soon, tenants in Peninsula Corporate Center, the Preserve 7700, Boca Industrial Park, Boca Commerce Center (One Boca Commerce) and Holland Drive Industrial Park who pre-signed with Hotwire will be among the first businesses in the area to get voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), broadband and IP television services from a company that installs and provides its own service, reports Steven August, Hotwire’s Area Sales Manager for Palm Beach.

By comparison, most other broadband provider companies are “CLECs,” or competitive local exchange carriers who lease service from master providers.

For Hotwire, area growth is concentrated in and around Yamato Road to Clint Moore Road, and Military Trail to Interstate 95. Fiber optic cables are being laid on the east side of Congress at 7700 and on the west side at Peninsula Corporate Circle. Hotwire also is completing the aerial work on the poles.

This work should be completed in early March. Workers next will wire services into each building’s phone room, then hand off the Ethernet connection to individual tenant customers with existing orders, August says.

The entire project could be completed and tenants “lit up” by the end of March.

Danburg approached Hotwire to bring the service to its tenants to provide a well known national high speed internet provider for servicing its tenants, says Charlie Exelbirt, Director of Leasing with Danburg.The result could be faster connections and throughput speeds from a company that prides itself on providing the fastest-available high-speed connections at affordable rates.

Hotwire is providing up to 25 megabits per second download and five mbps upload speeds, business telephone lines and television for under $200.

“Most companies cannot touch those speeds because they’re providing T-1 lines,” Exelbirt says. “Having an all-fiber network will uniquely position Danburg in the market as a landlord offering even higher caliber, Class A office and industrial space. Tenants and prospects have become more tech savvy. When we say we’re ‘all fiber,’ they know that makes a tremendous difference.”

Hotwire already is providing area businesses, like Tyco and Global Tower Partners, with symmetrical service from 10/10 to 100/100 (mbps download/upload), August says.
