HFN also offers connectivity to sites in Europe (see "Hudson Fiber Network taps euNetworks for low-latency London fiber-optic route").

"The combined completion of our national WAN and NJ fiber optic network, along with our New York City network, positions us as a national provider, delivering high-value, purpose-designed network solutions," said HFN CEO Brett Diamond.
