The expanded network footprint will meet evolving customer needs in Northern California.

Windstream Wholesale announced its latest network expansion in Northern California at Hurricane Electric’s Bay Area data center, Fremont 2, which it says will provide customers with increased network resilience, enhanced performance, and scalability.

Windstream’s point-of-presence (PoP) at the facility, which serves as the primary location in Hurricane Electric’s IP network, will be supported by the introduction of a new FLEX-enabled DWDM solution with dual-path connectivity.

Windstream Wholesale president Joe Scattareggia said the expansion is a significant step forward in the company’s commitment to deliver high-performance network solutions that meet evolving customer needs.

“By enhancing our footprint in Northern California, we are not only boosting connectivity in one of the country’s most dynamic markets but also reinforcing our dedication to network reliability, scalability, and innovation,” said Scattareggia in a press release.

Hurricane Electric president Mike Leber said his company is happy to host Windstream Wholesale’s PoP at the Fremont 2 data center.

“This partnership enhances the connectivity ecosystem at Fremont 2, providing our customers with more high-speed connectivity options and strengthening network resilience across the region,” said Leber in the same press release. “Windstream’s PoP will help us continue our mission to provide robust and scalable connectivity solutions for customers throughout our data center ecosystem.”
