Feature Spotlight: Lit Buildings in FiberLocator

In addition to showing you fiber lines, FiberLocator enables you to search and map lit building and data center locations as well. With the click of a button, you can see the physical location of “on-net” buildings and the carriers that currently connect to the building. This intel is also available for data centers and colocation facilities. These features are located on the left-hand side of the screen in the “Layers” drop-down and are under the heading “Buildings and Data Centers.”

Lit buildings appear as blue icons on the map view and data centers appear as green icons.

Once you have complete a search and are in the desired map view with your layers turned on, you can find information for the on-net building or data center by selecting the “info” icon in the map navigation.

With the info tool selected, you can click on a building, and a box containing the address and carriers in the building will appear on the screen.

Once this location information appears, you have options. You can click on the purple “Validate” button to request research on the carriers within the building. You can also click on the orange arrow button next to the carrier name to see a description of the provider. Or, you can click on the green button to “Request Pricing” to get a rapid response quote from FiberLocator. We can compile a quote for a single location or multiple locations for you as a part of our professional services offerings. (Did you know we do that too!?)
