US – New Jersey increases network infrastructure to support DFS
By Phil - 4 January 2018
New Jersey-based wireless and fiber network operator, Hammer Fiber Optic Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hammer Fiber Optic Holdings, will be increasing its network infrastructure within Atlantic City in support of growing demand from customers for server space. The increase in demand is largely in response to New Jersey’s legislation regarding the online sports fantasy business. The new legislation requires daily fantasy sports (DFS) operators to have physical hardware within Atlantic City town limits.
Hammer Fiber will begin to expand its server capacity as part of a plan to strengthen its overall network presence in Atlantic City. Hammer Fiber operates a wired and wireless network on Absecon island, delivering internet, voice and television services to both residential as well as small and medium business customers.
“Hammer Fiber is in a unique position to support customers’ needs regarding this new legislation. We are excited to continue to develop flexible architecture solutions as well as helping to modernize Atlantic City’s infrastructure,” said Brian Snyder, Director of Corporate Strategy. “This is a market that can really benefit from the addition of critical infrastructure and our network growth there allows us to support new verticals both in Atlantic City and throughout New Jersey and beyond.”
