OCG’s fiber system has been constructed with diverse links. The network is designed to link the transatlantic landings with major communications centers in Long Island, New York City and New Jersey. It consists of a diverse route from Shirley to Garden City, Long Island – from Garden City to Brooklyn – Brooklyn into Staten Island – Staten Island into New Jersey. As a result of today’s increasing security demands, we have built our system using underground facilities only.

Our network will soon be capable of a “Manhattan BYPASS” through the placement of a submarine cable from Brooklyn to Staten Island and Staten Island to New Jersey.

Today, a predominant amount of the existing fiber network’s voice and data coming from Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island connects through Manhattan. This became abundantly evident in the aftermath of 9/11. OCG will solve this problem, and provide true diversity.

 

The OCG “Manhattan BYPASS Network” includes underwater access to New Haven, Connecticut from Shoreham, Long Island on our eastern network.

On the western side OCG is in the process of constructing, our own submarine fiber from Brooklyn to Staten Island’s NY/NJ Port Authority Teleport.

Exiting from the Teleport, we have extended our network through Carteret, NJ to 165 Halsey Street in Newark, NJ, a “Carrier Hotel” meeting location for over 50 companies.

We built it!

OCG’s prime contractor is a communications contracting firm specializing in engineering and construction of telecommunications networks. Our network was built exceeding the industries highest quality standards.

We used the best fiber!

The OCG network consists of two unique types of fiber not found in many of the existing networks. Lucent Truewave RS Fiber which is designed to optimize OC-192 and DWDM performance over long spans and Allwave Fiber which carries the same signal that single mode fiber does with an increase of 50% of the carried capacity.

These fiber types will keep our network ”ahead of the curve” by supporting future generations of equipment and will maximize transmission capabilities, so customer regeneration costs can be kept to a minimum.

We installed the fiber without pulling!

The fiber is installed using the blowing method eliminating any stress or fiber damage. This method has three real advantages. It defers much of the cost since only the optic fibers actually required at the time need to be installed. It allows the system to be upgraded by the replacement of individual fibers and finally, as a bonus, the installation of the fiber is completely stress free.

We maintain it!

OCG provides surveillance monitoring and maintenance services for customers. Our in house maintenance teams are on call 24 x7. Twice a year we conduct a total quality inspection, ensuring all splices continue to function at maximum capacity. Our standards of workmanship are unsurpassed. We have never had a failure.

As network usage increases, OCG’s team installs the equipment necessary to manage additional capacity. OCG staff also conducts equipment upgrades and network configuration necessary because of technological changes. To avoid or minimize service disruptions, emergency restoration teams are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to handle emergency repairs such as fiber cuts or equipment problems.
