Arelion has deployed a new fully diverse, high-capacity route from Reston, VA down the U.S. East Coast, connecting directly to the Telxius cable landing station in Virginia Beach, then continuing to Arelion’s new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Raleigh, NC before connecting into Charlotte, NC and continuing south into Jacksonville, FL and Miami, FL. The route will be live in Q3.
Arelion’s new route leverages open optical line systems to support multi-vendor transponders and the latest coherent pluggable components, enabling cost-effective, scalable Wavelength services, including 10G, 100G and 400G, for its customers in thriving data center and technology markets on the U.S. East Coast. In addition, the unique route supports and sustains the growth of Arelion’s No.1 ranked Internet backbone, AS1299.
Arelion said the new route enables it to serve the Research Triangle’s booming technology and data center markets with scalable capacity and end-to-end trans-Atlantic solutions for multi-terabit scale traffic flowing into North America and Europe. Arelion’s new deployment also provides additional capacity and capability to support the terrestrial transport of multi-terabit subsea traffic from new subsea cables to Latin America and the Caribbean terminating in Jacksonville and South Florida.
“This network expansion on the East Coast of the U.S. is in response to our customers’ growing requirements for diverse, high-capacity connectivity and end-to-end trans-Atlantic solutions,” said Art Kazmierczak, Director of Strategic Sales and Network Development, Arelion. “Arelion’s new unique route continues our long-term commitment to invest in our North American network and provide resilient connectivity solutions that facilitate the growth of critical digital industries in rapidly evolving markets.”
