Lightpath Establishes Direct International Connection to N.Y. Metro Area Fiber Network

May 13, 2016

 Lightpath announced it has established direct international access to its New York metro area fiber network. Through a connection to New Jersey Fiber Exchange’s neutral cable landing station meet-me room in Wall, N.J., Lightpath’s reports its enterprise customers can now use its ultra-high bandwidth services for connectivity to key international destinations. New Jersey Fiber Exchange is reportedly the first Tier 3 carrier-neutral co-location facility that intersects where subsea cables from the United States, South America, Europe and the Caribbean meet.
 

“Following our connection to the NJFX facility, we’re able to expand the universe of customers we can serve, helping them develop secure, reliable and high-speed connectivity to key media and financial destinations throughout the world,” Dave Pistacchio, president at Lightpath, says.

Lightpath’s fiber N.Y. metro area network spans more than 7,000 lit locations throughout the region.

“Lightpath’s dominance in the region, close relationship with businesses and ubiquitous network enhance the value we’re able to offer to businesses throughout the globe that need the most direct local access to this market,” Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX, says. “We look forward to enabling reliable, diverse connectivity options for Lightpath customers in a highly-secure, fortified facility that is as close to the edge as a network operator can get.”

The New Jersey Fiber Exchange 64,800-square-foot facility will reportedly go live in September 2016, at which time Lightpath’s services will be available via the new connection.
