WALL, N.J., June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NJFX, the only
Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S. offering
Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities, announces today
that CenturyLink Inc. (NYSE: CTL), a technology leader delivering
hybrid networking, cloud connectivity, and security solutions, has
anchored at NJFX with an underground terrestrial fiber network,
linking key routes across North America.
CenturyLink offers an extensive global fiber network including
approximately 450,000 route miles of fiber and a network serving
customers around the world, providing secure and reliable services
to meet the growing digital demands of businesses. Focused on
customer success, CenturyLink's expansion into NJFX offers its
customers more options to connect and leverage cutting-edge
services.
NJFX, home to four subsea cable systems and seven independent
U.S. fiber-based backhaul providers, serves as a strategic
distribution center for data demarcation into and throughout
North America. Its community of
carriers make the NJFX CLS a marketplace rich with fiber networks
and platforms providing multiple options for routes, security and
diversity.
"Cable Landing Station colocation is where networks live today
and at NJFX, there are petabytes of data per second being
transported across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe and South
America," comments Gil
Santaliz, CEO for NJFX. "We welcome CenturyLink,
which has arguably one of the most interconnected and deeply peered
networks in the U.S. today to our growing ecosystem of terrestrial
carriers that provide diverse, private routes to transport all of
that data from our CLS campus across North America and beyond."
"Establishing a point of presence at NJFX allows CenturyLink
customers close proximity to data, decreasing network latency,
along with delivering smart options to further diversify and plan
their international connections with clarity and accuracy,"
comments Warren Greenberg, vice
president and general manager for CenturyLink in NYC, NJ and CT. "We look forward to offering
our services suite at the NJFX campus and to our enterprise
customers."
When a colocation data center campus is physically located at
the meeting point of multiple subsea cable landings linking three
continents, international connectivity is just a single
cross-connect away. The result is a high-resilience, low-latency
network with direct interconnection options for service providers,
enterprises, carrier-neutral operators and cable
companies.
NJFX's unique CLS model offers more than just the landing point
as it helps carriers and subsea providers get data out into the
hands of the companies delivering the data, provide faster on-ramps
to cloud infrastructure and power communications more reliably.
