On May 15, fiber infrastructure provider FiberLight announced a new Point of Presence (POP) at the Globalinx data center and cable landing station in Virginia Beach, Virginia. From there, the company will deliver up to one terabit private ethernet service to anywhere FiberLight has on-net presence, including the more than 200 data centers across the company’s network.
FiberLight’s Chief Strategy Officer Ron Kormos said in a press release, “Gaining a foothold in this market has been a long-held goal for FiberLight. Through our partnership with Globalinx, we’re expanding our reach and delivering fast, secure, and robust infrastructure wherever our clients seek connectivity. There’s a large ecosystem of business that flows through this region—from Central and South America to Europe—and we’re well-positioned to pick up that traffic and deliver low-latency data transport solutions. From this pivotal POP in Virginia Beach, we can unlock multiple avenues for growth and meet the diverse networking needs of our clients.”
FiberLight reports that it is positioned to deliver up to 400 Gbps speeds to subsea cable tenants transitioning to terrestrial networks within Globalinx’s 2N+1 carrier-neutral multi-megawatt data center campus.
Globalinx founder and president Greg Twitt said in the same press release, “FiberLight has earned a reputation for excellence in the industry, and we’re excited to work together to enhance and broaden connectivity options. While we maintain our carrier neutrality, FiberLight’s proven reliability, coupled with their history of successful partnerships with data centers, underscores their expertise and trustworthiness. We’re looking forward to a long-term partnership with FiberLight to meet the dynamic needs of our clients and deliver future-forward technology.”
