Crosstown Fiber recently announced that its near-net infrastructure is positioned to support the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP). IQMP needs secure, reliable, high-performance connectivity due to its data-intensive requirements as a research and development hub for advanced microelectronics and quantum computing.
“This infrastructure ensures that organizations operating within IQMP have access to the reliable, low-latency connectivity required for real-time data transmission, high-performance computing, and secure cloud operations. Crosstown Fiber’s underground, redundant ring design enhances reliability and security, enabling seamless data movement between research institutions, government agencies, and commercial enterprises.” Fiber will be integral in supporting the many needs of IQMP’s developing technology. The routes supplied by Crosstown Fiber will give not only the park but also the community the high-capacity connectivity required. Through the evolution of Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park it will in turn make new opportunities for researchers, businesses, and local communities through advanced digital infrastructure.
"Reliable fiber connectivity is fundamental to the success of organizations working in quantum computing and microelectronics," said Mike Underdown, CEO of Crosstown Fiber. "Our network is built to support the complex data processing and interconnectivity that these advancements require, ensuring that IQMP tenants have the digital foundation necessary to drive progress."
