Talking Technology Trends with NJFX’s CEO
As Featured in SUBMARINE TELECOMS FORUM (Issue 122 January 2022)
CEO
January 19, 2022
1. WHAT IS NJFX’S MISSION?
Our Mission is to grow our existing secure layer-one fiber ecosystem infrastructure providing global reliability and diversity to the foundation of the internet and global mission critical connectivity. Today, NJFX serves over 30 network operators across five subsea cables, 20 terrestrial cables interconnecting Europe, South America and the Caribbean and over 300 ASN’s in a global internet exchange from Wall, NJ in the USA.
2. HOW DOES NJFX PARTICIPATE IN THE SUBMARINE CABLE MARKET?
NJFX is a Communication Infrastructure marketplace where layer one submarine providers, terrestrial fiber networks, Internet Exchanges, CDN’s and global networks interexchange network traffic. The Submarine cable market can depend on this carrier neutral existing collocation CLS infrastructure to deploy its SLTE operating with a higher rate of availability and performance than extending out on a single terrestrial backhaul ring system. These extensions to other network hubs which aren’t purpose built introduce new failure points reducing uptime and exposing national security threats to subsea systems. As an active participant in this subsea industry, NJFX actively participates in trade shows to grow an ecosystem supporting the diversity of the subsea systems it hosts. In 2021, NJFX reached critical mass with physical carrier infrastructure assets of subsea, terrestrial cables & carriers POP’s to support the needed diversity for “Never Down” solutions.
3. IS NJFX CURRENTLY INVOLVED WITH MANY NEW SUBMARINE CABLE PROJECTS?
NJFX is always active with multiple new subsea projects working their way to “CIF” Contract in Force. These development projects look to eliminate risk and provide a clear path to deployment with a 25 year horizon of operations. Our design allows for decades of concurrent maintainability without planned outages for a layering of subsea systems at various stages of their life cycles.
4. WHAT MAKES NJFX UNIQUE IN THE SUBMARINE SYSTEM MARKET?
NJFX is the only Tier3 Carrier Neutral CLS Campus in North America. The CLS was purpose built in 2016 at 64 ft above sea level with a Hurricane 5 resistant design, Tier3 electrical & cooling infrastructure, 2N electric distribution & UPS, four diverse POE’s, profes- FEATURE JANUARY 2022 | ISSUE 122 19 sional Meet Me Rooms for carrier-neutral interconnectivity and access to existing diverse North & South front haul conduits to beach manholes with bore pipes. Understanding the critical importance of security, our collocation Tier3 by the Subsea CLS collocation facility includes mantraps, level 3 ballistic proof walls, dual authentic biometric access system and redundant site access control rooms with closed circuit BMS/Security Cameras. It is uniquely designed for secure collocation with high density options offering a variety of fiber routes by-passing the non-purpose built traditional carrier hotels.
5. WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF NJFX’S SUCCESS?
6. AS SUSTAINABILITY HAS BECOME A HOT BUTTON ISSUE IN OUR INDUSTRY, WHAT ARE NJFX’S PLANS FOR SUSTAINABLE OPERATION FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS?

Any attempt to damage the underwater cables on which “predominantly all the world’s information and traffic travels” could be considered an “act of war”, the UK’s newly appointed head of the armed forces tells The Times.
Original article posted at SKY NEWS
by Philip Whiteside
The head of Britain’s armed forces is warning Russian submarines are threatening a crucial network of underwater cables that carry information around the world.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, who was appointed chief of the defence staff in October, said the undersea cables that transmit internet data are “the world’s real information system”.
Sir Tony – a former head of the Royal Navy – told The Times newspaper there had been a “phenomenal increase in Russian submarine and underwater activity” in the last 20 years.
It meant Moscow could “put at risk and potentially exploit the world’s real information system, which is undersea cables that go all around the world”.
“That is where predominantly all the world’s information and traffic travels,” he added. “Russia has grown the capability to put at threat those undersea cables and potentially exploit those undersea cables.”

Featured Topic: How are We Meeting the Demands of Digital Infrastructure?
Moderator: Maria Browne
Participants:
With the largest bipartisan bill for digital infrastructure funding worth over $65 billion expected to pass imminently, build will continue ramping up. With this huge demand for national fiber, we face the challenge of getting the networks built fast enough before the competition does. In this session, we will critically explore how we are working collaboratively with governments and vendors to fast-track network builds and upgrade existing infrastructure.

NJFX Cable Landing Station Campus enables multiple, diverse route capabilities for Eastlink
October 26, 2021
Wall Township, NJ – NJFX, the only Carrier Neutral Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S offering Tier 3 capabilities, announced Canadian telecommunications company Eastlink, deployed its fiber optic network ring at the NJFX CLS campus. NJFX is now a strategic location on the Eastlink fiber ring that connects the New Jersey, New York City metro area to Toronto and Montreal. Offering significant network diversity, this expansion provides increased resiliency for business and mission-critical organizations, such as the finance, government, education, enterprise, retail and healthcare sectors.
“One of the key reasons NJFX was formed was to enable more diversity and high quality route options to support global network architectures,” comments Felix Seda, General Manager for NJFX. “With more than 30 carriers and four subsea cables at our CLS campus, the route possibilities for any organization that relies on high capacity bandwidth are endless.”
“Eastlink is excited to expand our network into NJFX’s robust telecom ecosystem. This will provide diverse routing for key destinations such as Ashburn, VA while avoiding the congested NYC metro area,” said Steve Irvine, Eastlink’s Senior VP Engineering and CTO.
NJFX and Eastlink customers can also reach eastern destinations and key Points of Presences (PoPs) in Stamford, CT, Boston, MA, Portland, ME and beyond to Atlantic Canada, where they can access the GTT Cable Landing Station. An added advantage and capability are that customers can also connect to key network routes from NJFX to the Caribbean and onto South America.
The new Eastlink PoP at NJFX will enable even more subsea cable system options, including connectivity to Gemini Bermuda Consortium (CBUS-1) and East Caribbean Fiber System (ECFS) submarine cables, which provide secure paths to Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, and the English-speaking West Indies islands of St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada and Trinidad.
