The majority of the RECs will be sourced from the Bowersock Mills and Power Company’s hydroelectric facility in Lawrence, Kansas.'

New Technology and Increasing external connectivity at 1&1

Over the last year 1&1 has increased and extended it’s U.S. network, first by connecting directly to a large internet exchange point outside of Europe. In the past 1&1 had it’s direct connections only within the boundaries of Europe, now with this new extension within the U.S. and 120 Gigabit per seconds available, 1&1 will have the ability to reach more internet users faster and with more reliability all over the world. Experts have been predicting that the boundaries of internet growth have been reached but 1&1’s upgrade of their data networks have proven even the greatest of pessimists wrong. In March the new exchange point located at Equinox, Chicago will double it’s external connectivity to it’s Lenexa Kansas data center which is currently one of the top 5 web hosts in the U.S. with 600,000 members. 1&1 has also decided to upgrade to Ethernet technology as opposed to their prior use of SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy). What does this mean for customers? Well with the use of this timed tested and true technology along with powerful routers from U.S. based manufacturer Foundry Networks you can expect cost benefits to customers due to the fact that 1&1 will be saving money thanks to the optimizing of data streams through routers and new peerings. Overall tripling it’s connectivity worldwide within the preceding year and with a complete expansion of it’s WAN (wide area network) 1&1 feels well prepared for the future where there will be a higher demand for private and business internet users alike.
