151 Front St West Toronto Carrier Hotel
151 Front
West Toronto - is at the heart of every major providers network. Home in some way to all facilities based telecommunications carriers in Canada, 151 Front boasts unparalleled network connectivity. With over 25 fibre optic entrances into 151 Front, network diversity and business continuity are ensured.
Today the building has 97% of its rentable square footage
converted to telecom space. Potential also exists for a 384,000
square foot expansion with direct connectivity to 151 Front
Street.
151 Front Street is the ideal environment for your
high-availability telecommunications and data center
requirements.
151 Front St acts as a primary North American communications
hub for telecommunications carriers and data centre firms from around
the globe. As a connection point for corporate data network, local
and long distance telephony, Internet peering, and critical data storage
facilities, the 151 Front Street building has been designed to accommodate
the highest standards of security reliability and connectivity.
1. Points of Entry
151 Front has more than 25 Points of Entry (POE) penetrating the building, offering an extensively diverse pathway “Fiber Connectivity” solution for any subscriber or service provider wishing to enter. 151 Front can be entered from all sides, increasing the number of right-of-ways that can be used to gain access. Further, the proximity to the rail lines, a major right-of way for national fiber optic loops, enhances access to national networks.
2. Meet-Me Room
Located in the heart of the building, 151 Front Street manages a highly secure fiber optic Meet-Me Room, offering easy access from building entry points; it is adjoined by a diverse riser system. Built in 2000, this room now houses access points for networks literally spanning the globe. Phase II or a secondary Meet-Me Room coming to the building soon!
3. Riser System
The Riser System consists of two diverse pathways linked directly to the Meet-Me Room and connecting vertical pathway to the penthouse level. The system offers diversity for your networking requirements, ease of installation for speed and cost savings.
4. Security
Uniformed security patrol the premises and surrounding area 24/7/365 as part of a customized security system and protocol while optical turnstiles and door entry card access provide a second level of security. Tenants also deploy their own proprietary security systems. Access to all high-security areas, such as the Meet-Me Room and Riser Systems, require a supervisor to monitor all personnel.
5. Electrical
A reliable source of primary power is of paramount importance to 151 Front’s 7/24/365 operation – an expensive but necessary venture to secure a reliable power supply from the local substation. In 2001, two new 4000/5000KVA transformers were added to ensure the reliability of 151 Front’s power supply. These transformers are fed by dual underground 13.8 Kv feeder lines from the local substation.
6. Cooling
New district cooling provides chilled water to the building according to pre-determined temperature capacity, and consumption. With our tenants’ higher than normal cooling requirements, this ensures a reliable chilled water supply that can easily grow with the building’s needs. Many 151 Front tenants have installed secondary cooling units “Condensers” on the roof area.
7. Diesel Fuel Farm
To support the generator power plant, 151 Front’s environmentally compliant diesel fuel storage facilities can house up to 44,000 gallons in tenant-owned tanks providing fuel to the generators. 151 Front owns the street at the back of the property, thus refueling trucks and roll-up generators enjoy unrestricted access to ensure their facilities 7/24/365 operation during an emergency.
8. Rooftop
151 Front pre-engineered the placement of a structural steel to support the added weight and vibration (now housing 18 generators) in full operation. To facilitate tenant requirements for secondary cooling, a similar structural steel grid was installed on the uppermost roof to accommodate the array of condensers, fluid coolers, glycol pumps and chillers.
