NEF's success has happened largely by pulling back the curtain of telecom. By developing extensive network asset databases and leveraging mapping technology, NEF has taken what used to be
a cloaked industry, often favoring the local phone company, and has made it accessible to companies looking to build their own proprietary network. Their dark fiber maps (http://www.nefiber.com) providers like Ciena, NEF is facilitating new options in a market previously underserved.
"NEF works hard to find custom solutions that meet not only the communications needs of our clients but also the long term business requirements," says NEF Vice President of Business
Development, Steve McCarthy. "We specialize in understanding your business beyond just your connectivity needs. This allows us to help you build a network that is secure, scalable and
cost effective for the future."
NEF has agent relationships with 50+ carriers that range from small municipal carriers to large national players. What makes NEF different from most master agents is the unique carriers
that are found in the NEF portfolio. The diverse underlying fiber providers are represented in one common network database and enable NEF to provide custom fiber based network solutions.
NEF's customer base spans large organizations in fields such as finance, health care and higher education, as well as large enterprise players looking to get more affordable prices on
higher bandwidth requirements.
