Seaborn announces Additional Flexibility & Resiliency for its LATAM/US Connectivity

Seaborn Announces Additional Flexibility & Resiliency for its LATAM/US Connectivity

Seaborns PoP at NJFX will help customers reach the LATAM community

March 22, 2022

Wall Township, New Jersey – Seaborn today announces its Seabras1 ethernet, IP and wave capacity as availability from the NJFX Cable Station Campus. Today more than ever network diversity and transparency are critical to the uptime of networks. The Seabras cable which was ready for service in 2017 has offered a bypass Miami & Caribbean option since day one. Today from NJFX it can now bypass NYC, Newark, Philadelphia or any another potential network congestion point in North America by utilizing the 25 physical network operators connected at NJFX.

“Utilizing North American networks at NJFX allows Seaborn a savings it can share. Aside from the no cross connect fee model there is a competitive wholesale marketplace available. Many carriers have special pricing they can make available to their end users which are not generally available. A good example is our US Banking customers which embrace the extra level of security by having their own dark fiber at NJFX interconnecting their core network nodes and using NJFX as their hand off to subsea cables connecting Europe and now LATAM through Seaborn” commented Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX.

“We are pleased to be participating in this unique, carrier neutral ecosystem NJFX has created to deepen our relationship with the wholesale carrier community as well as provide the enterprise customers optionally for access to diverse terrestrial networks and our Seabras-1 subsea cable system.

“In today’s rapidly changing connectivity landscape, network operators realize that having access to diverse subsea and terrestrial options is the foundation of their ability to reach new customers and penetrate new markets. Leveraging Seaborn as a gateway, LATAM-based ISP’s can seamlessly bypass Florida/NYC to reach NJFX and interexchange traffic with our European and U.S. based providers” said Felix Seda, General Manager of NJFX.

NJFX Announces Appointment of Gabe Pannella to Vice President of Business Development

September 24, Wall Twp., NJ – NJFX, the only Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S offering Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities, welcomes Gabe Pannella as Vice President of Business Development. In this position, Pannella will build upon the success of NJFX’s robust ecosystem of 25 carriers and four subsea cable systems to develop relationships with enterprise businesses.

Pannella first played a leadership role during his tenure at Metromedia Fiber Networks in the late ‘90s. He then joined Abovenet after the company reorganized, and he spent more than a decade bringing his expertise and knowledge about network architecture to executives at dozens of the country’s top 100 financial institutions. Pannella’s strong business development background with top names in the connectivity industry including Lightower, Zayo, Zenfi Networks, and data center industry expertise with companies such as Digital Realty, Cyxtera, and CoreSite that make him the ideal candidate.

“Gabe brings a wealth of experience and will further our goal of servicing the enterprise market. NJFX creates a level of transparency by educating the enterprise market on carrier network architecture and illustrates why it’s crucial to have reliable, resilient, and redundant routes for their business,” comments Gil Santaliz, Founder and CEO of NJFX. “NJFX enables dark fiber network access on subsea cables. Customers can create and maintain their own private optical networks bypassing carrier hotels and eliminating unnecessary points of failure.”

NJFX not only has colocation services; its large and diverse ecosystem offers customers access to a wide variety of domestic, international carriers and internet exchanges.

“I am looking forward to bringing the story of this vibrant and trusted NJFX ecosystem to prospective enterprise customers,” states Pannella. “As more and more businesses realize the importance of well-architected networks, they will require access to multiple routes to serve their customers.”

Over the last 25 years, Pannella has played roles that range from interconnection to data center colocation, thus providing a thorough understanding of how both industries operate. During Hurricane Sandy, Pannella played an essential role with his mission-critical customers to maintain available connectivity options in the New York metro area.

The pandemic has highlighted the growing significance of residential IP networks as no longer for entertainment purposes only. NJFX has taken the lead in making those networks available today bypassing the public internet. The surge in digital services usage places tremendous pressure on the internet to further handle the rise in traffic volumes and shifting patterns of demand that can potentially affect the end-user experience.

Pannella will be joining the NJFX team at International Telecoms Week (ITW) 2021, taking place August 29th through September 1st at National Harbor, MD along with an available virtual option. Register now to sit in on the Subsea Connect Panel, on which Gil Santaliz will share his expertise.

NJFX Participates with the United Nations in Helping to Bridge the Digital Divide

NJFX Participates with the United Nations in Helping to Bridge the Digital Divide

Efforts Aimed at Getting the Other Half of the World Online

March 29, 2021

ITU

Wall Township, NJ – March 29, 2021 – NJFX, the only Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S offering Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities, today announced that it will join the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to help bring connectivity to underserved areas. There are about 7.8 billion people in the world, and according to the ITU, 3.7 billion of them remain unconnected to the internet, representing nearly half the world’s population. NJFX is proud to join in this effort and recognizes that increasingly, internet access is becoming just as important as vital utilities like electricity and water.

The ITU is the United Nations’ specialized agency for information and communication technologies. NJFX has received federal approval to become an ITU Development (ITU-D) Sector member and has been officially confirmed to the group.

“NJFX is proud to be an ITU-D Sector member and bring awareness and expertise to this critical need of getting the rest of the world internet access, wherever they live and whatever their conditions, online,” comments Gil Santaliz, NJFX Founder and CEO. “To become a Sector member, we received U.S. Department of State scrutiny and approval. We are appreciative of our membership status with the ITU as they strive to improve access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) to underserved communities worldwide.”

NJFX currently has some of the world’s largest Tier 1 IP providers colocated at its CLS Campus including Altice, Cogent, Lumen (formerly known as CenturyLink), Hurricane Electric, Tata, Telia, Verizon and Zayo. NJFX is also now coordinating with the largest U.S. eyeball networks to deleverage New York City for critical content delivery. In addition to providing connectivity where it’s needed, access to content, including to major U.S. financial institutions, needs to be available during times of manmade or natural disasters. Availability has societal benefits and needs to always be a click away.

The Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) fosters international cooperation to provide the creation, development and improvement of telecommunication equipment and networks in developing countries. ITU-D also facilitates and enhances telecommunic​ations development by offering, organizing and coordinating technical cooperation and assistance activities.​

In November, the global effort will convene for the World Telecommunication Development Conference, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to set the stage for the next phase of objectives in this initiative. NJFX looks forward to following the conversation, developments and helping to drive advancements globally.
