"This financing positions us to drive accelerated growth for our 1025OCR technology campus and capitalize on the robust demand that we are seeing for colocation and interconnection at 1025Connect," stated Jeff Wasserman, Chairman of AM Property Holding. "In addition to the substantial investments that we are making in facilities and infrastructure, we have significantly enhanced the leadership team at 1025Connect with the recent appointments of Frank Zachmann as Executive Director and John Danko as Director of Business Development."
1025OCR will use the new capital to improve its facility and the operations of the Technology Center. The company plans to construct a new building entrance with direct and controlled access to 1025Connect inside the building with a new main office; add capacity and improve resiliency of its power and cooling infrastructure; and enhance the security access control system and protocols to support industry required certifications.
1025Connect is the premier colocation interconnection facility on Long Island with more than 15 carriers and service providers available in the building, including Altice/Lightpath, Aqua Comms, CenturyLink, Crown Castle, DE-CIX Internet Exchange, Epsilon and Verizon. Situated at one of the most eastern points of the United States, 1025Connect delivers direct access to multiple submarine cable systems connecting North America, Europe and Latin America, with the ability to bypass Manhattan fiber routes for greater network redundancy and diversity.
