Cogent is a multinational Tier-1 Internet Service Provider consistently ranked as one of the top five networks in the world. Our primary service offering consists of Internet access and data transport, offered over our award-winning fiber optic, IP data-only network, along with colocation in any of our 41 Internet data centers. We service two customer segments: "Corporate" (small businesses to Fortune 100 companies) and "NetCentric" (Carriers / Service Providers and Application / Content Providers, whose businesses rely primarily on Internet access).
Our innovative, facilities-based network spans across North America, across the Atlantic and throughout Europe. With over 51,200 route miles of intercity fiber and more than 15,500 metro fiber miles, we provide service to over 160 major markets and interconnect with over 3,500 other networks.
Cogent was founded on the premise that bandwidth can be treated like a commodity—produce mass amounts and position it for sale based on price. Leveraging new technologies, we built our own IP data network independent of the traditional voice-based networks owned by the RBOCs (Regional Bell Operating Companies). By doing so, we believed we could reduce the cost of high quality bandwidth down to a level never before offered in the marketplace. Less than five years after lighting our network backbone, we have become widely recognized as one of the largest carriers of Internet traffic in the world.
We stand apart from our competitors in many areas, but key differentiators include:
Cogent Communications is a public company trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol CCOI. Cogent is headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America.
Cogent started operations in 1999. Since then, it has dynamically expanded to become a top five global service provider in over 160 major markets and 30 countries.
Cogent began construction of a network optimized for data traffic and launched service in four initial markets in 2000. That same year, major telcos announced for the first time ever that global networks carried more data traffic than voice traffic. Cogent was perfectly positioned to step into this growing market. Today we are one of the largest carriers of data traffic in the world.
Although debuting at the height of the telecom industry, Cogent soon found vast market wealth eradicated and many other ISPs thrown into a state of turmoil. In a survival of the fittest competition, Cogent became the consolidator in a consolidating market. Over three brief years, Cogent completed 13 acquisitions of other flailing providers. Whether it was an entire company or just select assets, Cogent was able to acquire valuable network assets, customers, peering relationships and building access agreements for pennies on the dollar.
Among Cogent's 13 acquisitions to date include three of the original generation Internet Service Providers who were pioneers in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These companies—PSINet (originally Performance Systems International), NetRail and Aleron (originally AGIS/Net99)—were the earliest providers of commercial Internet service. While these first generation ISPs made great contributions to the rapid growth and success of the Internet, their business models and networks could not keep pace with technology and market demands.
Other strategic acquisitions include assets from: Allied Riser, OnSite Access, Fiber City, Fiber Network Solutions, Applied Theory, LambdaNet France and Spain, Carrier1, Unlimited Fiber Optics, Global Access, Aleron, NTT/Verio.
Cogent aims to serve top tier markets where connectivity demands are highest.
At the end of 2000, we launched service in just four U.S. cities. In 2001, we completed our network rollout to 20 major U.S. cities. The next year, we expanded our network into Toronto, Canada, and also began offering Off Net (T1/T3) services in more than 30 new markets.
In 2004, we crossed the Atlantic into Europe and expanded gradually across the continent. We added the Nordics in 2005, Italy in 2006, stretched as far north as Glasgow and as far east as Romania by 2008, and to Estonia and Ukraine by 2009. We currently serve over 70 European markets with products that include IP transit, Colocation services and Ethernet Point-to-Point connectivity.
In 2009, Cogent also moved into Mexico and today connects multiple cities across the country. Our successful geographic expansion at such a rapid pace has been, in large part, due to our ability to surgically acquire the network assets we need most from financially troubled companies.
As of 2011, we carry an impressive share of the world's Internet traffic and continue to expand our geographic footprint.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Dave Schaeffer founded Cogent Communications in August 1999 and is the Chief Executive Officer. Under Mr. Schaeffer's leadership, Cogent has become one of the world's largest Internet Providers. Mr. Schaeffer has led the efforts of 13 successful acquisitions, propelling Cogent's originally U.S.-based network into Canada, Europe and Mexico. Mr. Schaeffer has successfully founded and operated six other businesses prior to Cogent. These businesses span a wide array of industries from communications to commercial real estate. Mr. Schaeffer holds a B.S. in Physics from the University of Maryland, where he was also a Ph.D. candidate in Economics. His diverse background and entrepreneurial successes have enabled him to build management teams that constructed and operate the only facilities-based, non-oversubscribed multinational network of its kind.
Chief Financial Officer
Tad Weed joined Cogent in February 2000 as Controller and now serves as Chief Financial Officer. Previously, Mr. Weed served as Senior Vice President of Finance and Treasurer at Transaction Network Services. At TNS, Mr. Weed undertook a broad range of financial management responsibilities for the NYSE public company, including financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, financial modeling, acquisition and international expansion strategies and pro-forma analyses. He eventually negotiated and completed the sale of the company to PSINet for $720 million. Prior to TNS, Mr. Weed was employed at Arthur Andersen for over ten years, consulting on due diligence and operational improvement issues and working with multiple companies on SEC filings and initial public offerings. Mr. Weed has an M.B.A. from Virginia Polytechnic & State University and a B.B.A. from Roanoke College. He has also fulfilled all requirements for the C.P.A. designation.
Cogent Powered Buildings |  |  |
Is your building Cogent powered? Only the largest and most prestigious commercial buildings in the United States and Canada were selected for connection to Cogent's next-generation network, consistently ranked as one of the top 5 networks
in the world. A typical Cogent powered building is a Class A office building with more than 600,000 square feet, located in the central business district of a major metropolitan market.
When your building is connected to Cogent fiber, tenants enjoy the valuable amenity of ultra-high bandwidth offered at radically low prices. In addition to the substantial price savings, they also enjoy rapid service installation--typically in 8 days or less. That's three times faster than what traditional, copper-based telephone companies can offer.
Prospective tenants often go to great lengths to seek Cogent service and will consider leasing space only in Cogent Powered Buildings. As the Internet becomes more critical to everyday business operations, tenants have become dependent on their Cogent service.
"Our building is scheduled for demolition at some point in the next couple of years, so having Cogent in a given building would increase our interest in relocating there."
A Cogent powered building gives property owners, managers and leasing agents a tremendous advantage. Find out if you're in a Cogent Powered Building by using our Service Locations page.
Promoting Cogent service as a tenant amenity can only increase the value of your office space. Cogent is pleased to assist you. We provide the following services to all Cogent powered buildings:
