"Augmenting carrier diversity should be every colocation provider's goal," says Phil Koblence, Chief Operating Officer for NYI. "Having Lightower build into our Bridgewater facility not only strengthens NYI's already-dense ecosystem of carriers and cloud providers, but also provides our customers strategic access to Lightower's dark fiber services."

NYI operates data centers in New York and New Jersey and has “facilities” in Seattle and Los Angeles. The Bridgewater data center, located at 999 Frontier Road, is less than 40 miles from Lower Manhattan. The company offers connectivity for trading platforms, backup processes, and other latency-sensitive applications. These connectivity options include a suite of Internet infrastructure services, from colocation to cloud.

"Lightower is always looking for ways to further expand our network, especially in the New York Metro market," explains Jason Campbell, chief operations officer for Lightower. "By establishing an all-fiber access point at NYI's Bridgewater facility, we continue to highlight our dedication to delivering market-leading networking solutions with customer friendly connectivity options."
