Stealth Communications is an American fiber-based Internet Service Provider (ISP), installing and maintaining its own fiber optic network throughout New York City. Stealth began rolling out its Gigabit Internet services in late 2013 to businesses throughout Manhattan, using in-house employees to lay its own fiber-optic cabling. In July 2015, City of New York and Stealth announced a $5.3 million public/private partnership to expand fiber broadband into Brooklyn and Queen's Industrial Business Zones. As of December 2015, the company reported to have connected over a hundred commercial properties with fiber, over 37 fiber route miles.
Stealth Communications started in 1995 to provide ultrafast Internet connectivity to businesses in NYC. In 2013, the company received authorization from the City of New York, to construct its own fiber network.
Stealth utilizes an underground conduit system for placing its fiber-optic cables, that is owned and maintained by Empire City Subway. Once their fiber-optic cable reaches the closest manhole to the building, Stealth pulls the fiber-optic cable through existing conduit(s) or builds a new conduit into the building. In certain cases due to the conditions of the conduit system, conduits are clogged or collapsed often causing costly re-routing by lengthy distances and construction of entirely new conduits.
Stealth implements WDM fiber transmission technology for connecting customers to its hubs, by allocating a wavelength for each customers, whereas each wavelength is capable of transmitting between 1 Gbit/s to 100 Gbit/s. The company claims that it makes use of special materials to split and combine multiple wavelengths running through the fiber-optic cables without requiring electricity.
