Laconia's telephone exchange has been at 762 North Main Street since the switch cutover of 1959, and Fidium sells colocation from a suite inside it - the same building that still terminates the town's copper and fibre plant. Ownership of record sits with Northern New England Telephone Operations, the ILEC entity that passed from Verizon to FairPoint in 2008, to Consolidated Communications in 2017 and to the Fidium brand in September 2025; the City of Laconia's assessing record of 28 February 2023 carries it at $64,800 and $1,648,800. Half cabinets, full cabinets and custom cages sit on anti-static raised floor with 110-volt and 208-volt supply up to three phase, fed from diverse PDUs with N+1 generator backup and N+1 cooling behind them. Fire protection is specified further than Fidium publishes anywhere outside New Hampshire: VESDA very early smoke detection paired with a Siemens Sinorix 227 waterless, non-residue suppression system. Fidium states that Laconia and Manchester hold both SOC 1 and SOC 2, without naming an auditor, a report type or a year. No interconnection record exists for the address, which fits a regional central office rather than an interconnection point.

Frequently asked questions

What can be rented at 762 North Main Street?
Half cabinets, full cabinets and custom cages on anti-static raised floor, with 110-volt and 208-volt supply up to three phase, an active display of power usage and 24x7x365 access.
What was 762 North Main Street before?
Laconia's telephone central office, built as the successor facility for the town's 1959 switch cutover, and still a working exchange. It has run through New England Telephone, NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, Verizon, FairPoint, Consolidated Communications and now Fidium.
Which certifications does Fidium claim here?
SOC 1 and SOC 2, stated site-specifically for the Laconia and Manchester facilities. No audit firm, report type or year is published, so the claim rests on the operator alone, and no Uptime Institute tier is claimed or awarded.
How is the space protected against fire?
VESDA very early smoke detection paired with a Siemens Sinorix 227 waterless, non-residue suppression system, with leak and water detection alongside it.
Who is the owner of record?
Northern New England Telephone Operations LLC, the ILEC entity Consolidated Communications acquired from FairPoint in 2017 and which now trades as Fidium. An FCC-registered microwave tower stands at the same address.
