INDATEL is evolving and building upon the power of scale and expanded service offerings. INDATEL is dedicated to providing data solutions via fiber optic network routes throughout rural and metro America. Our members excel in delivering reliable bandwidth solutions in rural markets and are uniquely positioned to provide connectivity to many places where other carriers cannot. We represent more than 700 Rural Local Exchange Carriers, 400,000+ fiber optic route miles across America, over 5,000 communities served and over 2,300,000 serviceable locations. INDATEL’s Data and Internet Aggregation PoP houses a CDN services peering point, an Ethernet exchange and transit IP services aggregation. INDATEL’s Data and Internet Aggregation PoP, and Ethernet exchange includes member-to-member circuits and exchange-to-exchange circuits. INDATEL’s CDN services are peered with many “big name” players which allow INDATEL to be a viable competitor in the markets it serves. This PoP/Exchange is being expanded geographically to support demand throughout the US. Carriers and large enterprises believe it’s easier to have an NNI with access to 25 major rural statewide network operators as opposed to multiple access points where they would still have to backhaul to major nodes on their own network. In particular the 5MB - 100GB range.
