新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Technology & Research Park Grows With Southern Light
Posted on October 28, 2015
University of South Alabama Technology & Research Park is growing with the expansion of fiber optics-based telecommunications company Southern Light.
The company recently completed a $5 million, Tier 3 data center that can hold more than 150 data racks consuming 800 kilowatts of power. It was an expansion of Southern Light鈥檚 Tier 2 data center in the same building.
新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Technology & Research Park, launched in April 2002, combines University resources with innovative enterprises in a single location that broadens educational experiences for students, generates new research opportunities for faculty and offers growth prospects for industry.
The park is a focal point of economic growth for Mobile and the Upper Gulf Coast.
鈥淪outhern Light鈥檚 expansion at the University of South Alabama is illustrative of the kind of successful partnerships the University has with the business community and our commitment to economic development,鈥 said Lynne Chronister, 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 vice president for research and economic development. 鈥淲e look forward to continuing growing with Southern Light. In fact, we are currently working with the company to place interns 鈥 a benefit to Southern Light and to our students.鈥
Southern Light owns and operates the largest contiguous last-mile fiber optic network on the Gulf Coast. They have 5,000 miles of fiber in the ground from Lafayette, La., to Jacksonville, Fla., and added over 800 miles to their network in 2013. In addition to providing ultra-high speed fiber optic connections for wireless carriers, telecommunications carriers, private enterprise, schools and military facilities, Southern Light also offers their customers space in hardened facilities like the data center at 新加坡六合彩开奖资料.
鈥淕rowing our operations at 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 was a natural choice for us because of the proximity to customers and the strength of infrastructure at the 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Technology & Research Park," Andy Newton, Southern Light president and CEO, said at a lease signing last year. 鈥淭he University was one of our first customers. We have built on that relationship as a tenant, and we want to invest in that partnership as we continue to expand our capabilities.鈥
