Service Provider Information
Service Providers
nDanville is building a communitywide high speed communications network that will help bring jobs and businesses to Danville. Phase 2A of the project is designed to provide connectivity to Danville area businesses. Services would be provided by private sector companies, including many if not most of the firms currently offering Internet access in the area. Therefore, we are seeking service providers to offer and to sell a variety of services on the network.

Network Description
nDanville is a state of the art Layer 3 IP network with end to end automated service provisioning. Customers will order services using a Web portal to access your service offerings, and in most cases, the service will be available to the customer seconds after the order form is completed. Service providers will bill customers directly, and monthly usage reports on a per customer basis can be provided by nDanville if needed.
You may attach to the network by colocating equipment locally in one of two public colocation facilities (Danville MSAP downtown or the CyberPark colo), or you may deliver your services from a remote (off network) location by bringing a circuit connection to the main nDanville router at the downtown MSAP.
Cost of using the network
The primary method of cost recovery will be revenue sharing, which keeps your start up costs low. The percentage of revenue share is negotiated in advance so you know exactly what your transport costs are prior to offering the service. The exact percentage of revenue share is based on your specifications, according to factors like time of day, QoS required, and bandwidth needs.
Phase 2 Opportunities
In Phase 2, nDanville will be able to provide fiber connections to customers locations, subject to distance and cost limitations.
