SG.GS, a provider serving North America and the Asia Pacific, has made upgrades across its North American network, unveiling three additional markets in Toronto, Ashburn, and Seattle, alongside upgrading existing markets in New York, Chicago, Miami, San Jose, and Los Angeles.
The service provider said these upgrades are designed to handle higher-capacity services, reduce latency between North America and the Asia Pacific, and increase availability for SG.GS' IP network.
Dave Pumford, general manager, International at SG.GS said, "This investment expands us into Canada for the first time and allows us to reach more US markets, delivering on our global business strategy."
New subsea capacity
SG.GS is complementing the expansion of its points of presence by adding subsea capacity across both the Atlantic (AE-Connect and Dunant) and the Pacific (New Cross Pacific, JUNO, and JUPITER) to support expanded North American reach and is fully managed and monitored by its global network operations centre in Singapore.
Having deployed new hardware across North America, SG.GS can now offer up to 100G services across its product portfolio, including international connectivity, IP access (AS24482), IX peering, and cloud services.
The connectivity provider also introduced and upgraded several Internet Exchanges (IXs) and cloud on-ramp providers (CNIs) throughout the region as part of a broader effort to improve IP route density, IX and cloud services, and last-mile connectivity.
"Local density is as important to us as global reach, as we build bespoke solutions for regional carriers, infrastructure providers, and enterprise customers," said Pumford.
Enabling new connectivity options
By enhancing its reach into more North American markets, the emphasis SG.GS has placed on enabling direct access between major connectivity hotspots across the East and West.
SG.GS' strategic connections and network across APAC help smaller B2B businesses scale internationally, tapping into a market that represents 60% of the world's population.
A key element of giving businesses of all sizes more global connectivity options is its roots in the Singapore market.
"Our roots in Singapore give us optimal positioning to leverage neutral connectivity between the East and the West," comments Shawn Ang, Managing Director of SG.GS. "Singapore is one of the most interconnected markets in the world, and we have built a strong reputation for demystifying Asia Pacific emerging markets for new market entrants with our strong relationships across the region."
