About 151 Front Street

151 Front acts as a primary North American communications hub for telecommunications carriers and data centre firms from around the globe. As an essential connection point for corporate data networks, 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.

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.

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.

Electrical A reliable source of primary power is of paramount importance to 151 Front's 7/24/265 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.

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.

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, this refueling trucks and roll-up generators enjoy unrestricted access to ensure their facilities 7/24/365 operation during an emergency.
