NJFX is currently in discussions with strategic customers with larger footprint requirements of over 150 high density cabinets. It will focus its efforts on retail cabinets for carriers, OTT’s and Enterprise cages for up to 50% of its primary business, ensuring direct access to the world’s only Tier 3 Transatlantic Cable Landing Station Campus. The campus directly interconnects Europe, South America and North America with 8 unique fiber base US carriers in the North East to provide unprecedented route diversity end-to-end.

The build is all the more impressive when you look at the stats.
