Lightpath Forges International Link

July 22, 2022

 

Cablevision unit connects with New Jersey Fiber Exchange

Lightpath, a unit of Cablevision Systems focused on Ethernet-based business services, said 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 enterprise customers can now tap into high bandwidth services for connectivity to key international destinations, the company said.

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

As its customers increasingly seek the fast connectivity to key international hotspots, Lightpath said the new connection meets this need by bypassing carrier hotels and legacy backhaul solutions.

“As our customers’ businesses expand globally, they want to continue to use the Lightpath service that they know and trust,” Dave Pistacchio, president of Lightpath, said in a statement. . “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.”

Lightpath’s fiber network in the NY metro covers more than 7,000 lit locations in the region.  Lightpath parent Cablevision is in the process of being acquired by Altice.
