Windstream has extended its 100G buildout to the Jersey Shore. The 230+ mile network expansion creates a direct path between key submarine cables and Ashburn in northern Virginia.
They’ve hooked up with NJFX’s meet-me room and data center in Wall Township, which sits alongside the Tata Communications cable landing station. Not only does Tata’s own transatlantic cable land there, but the new Seabras-1 cable to Brazil will also be moving in soon.
NJFX revealed plans to build a carrier neutral data center and meet-me room a year ago, and opened the meet-me room in September. The facility will offer 64,800 square feet of Tier 3 space at what it hopes to become a key point of interconnection for global networks.
