Hammer Fiber Announces Development of Television Services Platform for New York City DMA expansionPOINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hammer Fiber Optic Investments Ltd., a New Jersey based wireless and fiber network operator and wholly owned subsidiary of Hammer Fiber Optic Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: HMMR) announced today that it is expanding its television services platform to include content for the New York DMA ahead of its network expansion plans. The expansion of the television platform will allow Hammer Fiber to offer a full suite of ultra-high-speed internet, Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP) and linear television services to existing and new customers in northern New Jersey that fall within the New York designated market area. A full suite of television services including Pay-Per-View (PPV) and Video on Demand (VOD) are expected to be available to customers in Northern New Jersey in early 2018. The company has opted to add the additional DMA following the successful launch of television services in the southern New Jersey market, a part of the Philadelphia DMA. Earlier this year, through the use of its pre-5g wireless fiber technology, Hammer Fiber deployed a full triple play service offering to residents and small businesses, specifically in the Atlantic City Area. Hammer Fiber is continuing the development of its current market and utilizing the results in that region to develop a comprehensive and competitive television platform for this new territory. "We've been eyeing the New York DMA since the beginning of the development of our television platform," said Michael Yankowski, Hammer Fiber's Dirctor of Product Development, "The opportunities in this market are massive; we already deliver internet service to both residential and enterprise customers and now we'll be able to offer our complete suite of services. This is a natural evolution for us." Hammer Fiber's expansion plans will utilize their existing network infrastructure, which runs throughout the Northern New Jersey market and extends into New York City. The company currently operates a carrier network in market, servicing Enterprise clients as well as offering residential ultra-high-speed internet and voice services. The addition of linear television services including both local and national content will complete Hammer Fiber's offerings in the market.
