Company Adds New PoPs at 910Telecom
Sprint (NYSE: S) announced that it is continuing its strategy to
expand in major carrier hotels to broaden its network and provide
access at the lowest cost. The latest effort in this expansion
added a new Point of Presence (PoP) at 910Telecom in Denver,
Colorado. Sprint is now able to provide access to its wireline
network and connectivity solutions to customers that are co-located
in the data center.
Deploying in major carrier hotels is part of Sprint’s aggressive
strategy to expand its IP network footprint. Accelerating adoption
of cloud services, and an ever-growing mobile workforce are driving
enterprises to new WAN solutions that meet their increasing need
for flexibility, performance and security. Sprint’s presence in
major carrier hotels makes it easier for customers to access our
comprehensive portfolio of connectivity, cloud networking solutions
and Value Added Services, including SD-WAN.
Sprint can now provide access to Global MPLS and Dedicate IP
customers via a direct presence at 910Telecom. The new PoP provides
910Telecom’s carrier and enterprise customers access to port speed
up to 100 Gig per second.
910Telecom is a carrier-neutral network-centric
colocation provider, delivering reliable interconnection
and secure high-performance edge data
center solutions and supporting leading enterprises, network
operators, cloud providers. 910Telecom enables service providers to
connect, protect and optimize performance-sensitive data,
applications and computing workloads.
“910Telecom is the most well connected data center in the Denver
area and was one of our high-priority sites when we started our
strategy to expand the number of carrier hotels where we have a
PoP,” said Mike Fitz, President and General Manager of the Sprint
Global Wireline Business Unit. “As we continue to aggressively
expand our network, deploying in a major carrier hotel 910Telecom
allows us to provide access to our global all-IP network to a
significant number of customers.”
To support the growing shift from legacy data networks to an
all-IP environment, Sprint also added 52 U.S. IP/MPLS nodes in
2016, and in 2017, will add more than 70 nodes, expanding to more
than 220 U.S. IP/MPLS nodes. Additionally, Sprint has built
hundreds of Network-to-Network Interconnections (NNI) with more
than 50 ILEC and cable providers, creating an Ethernet access
footprint that blankets the United States.
“Sprint has a long history of providing a high-performance,
secure network and great support for their customers,” said Eryn
Taylor at 910Telecom. “We are excited to add Sprint’s global
network and wide breadth of services to our facility."
