Stealth Communications is a U.S.-based Internet service provider specializing in fiber-optic connectivity, operating its proprietary fiber network throughout New York City. Established in 1995 by Shrihari Pandit and Jinci Liu, the firm concentrates on delivering Gigabit-level Internet solutions primarily to Manhattan businesses, utilizing internal teams for the installation and upkeep of its fiber infrastructure.
In July 2015, Stealth formed a $5.3 million public-private collaboration with New York City aimed at extending fiber broadband services into Industrial Business Zones located in Brooklyn and Queens, focusing on commercial districts with limited connectivity options. By May 2019, the company had linked hundreds of commercial properties via more than 80 miles of fiber routes, thereby bolstering its position within New York City's competitive telecom market.
The company offers a range of services including high-speed Internet access, leasing of dark fiber, proactive cybersecurity measures, and tailored products for defense-related clients. Stealth’s operational strategy highlights direct management of its infrastructure alongside strategic alliances to foster growth and enhance its influence within its core market.
Overview
Founded in 1995, Stealth Communications delivers ultra-high-speed Internet services to businesses in New York City. After obtaining approval in 2013 to construct its own fiber network within the city, the company strengthened its foothold in the market. By 2022, it was acknowledged as the fastest regional Internet provider across the United States, offering speeds exceeding 7.5 Gbps and solidifying its competitive edge in telecommunications.
Fiber distribution
Stealth routes its fiber-optic cables through an underground conduit system managed by Empire City Subway. The company either leverages existing conduits or builds new pathways to connect client buildings. However, infrastructure obstacles such as blocked or deteriorated conduits often necessitate expensive rerouting and additional construction. This approach of utilizing city-owned conduit infrastructure underpins Stealth's commitment to dependable, high-speed connectivity for commercial customers.
Fiber technology
The company applies WDM technology to link customers with its network hubs, allocating each customer a unique wavelength capable of data transmission rates ranging from 1 Gbit/s up to 400 Gbit/s. Advanced metamaterials are employed to separate and merge multiple wavelengths within fiber-optic cables without requiring electrical power, thereby improving both efficiency and network dependability.
