WALL, N.J., Oct. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NJFX, the only
Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S offering
Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities,
today announces that Verizon Communications
Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) is deploying a new network
Point-of-Presence (PoP) at its CLS campus, providing access to
Verizon's global network. One of the largest communication
technology companies in the world, Verizon operates America's most
reliable wireless network and the nation's premier all-fiber
network, delivering integrated solutions to businesses
worldwide.
"We are especially pleased that Verizon has chosen to establish
a Point-of-Presence at our CLS colocation campus, as one of three
current backhaul providers at NJFX with underground fiber for its
long-haul routes," states Gil
Santaliz, CEO for NJFX. "It has always been our vision to
develop NJFX to become North
America's preeminent international hub for subsea
communications, interconnecting many international carriers across
three continents with multiple secure and reliable backhaul and
U.S. termination options. World-class communications providers such
as Verizon, as well as subsea cable operators, enterprises and
cloud providers within our CLS ecosystem, recognize that NJFX
provides a nexus for collaboration where they can build out new and
reinforce existing networks with diverse routes while extending
their global reach."
Leveraging its strategic presence at the NJFX CLS, Verizon and
its customers will have the ability to directly interconnect with
subsea capacity services across the Atlantic to Ireland, Denmark and Northern
Europe. Strategically located 64 feet above sea level and
Category 5 hurricane resistant, the NJFX CLS campus facility offers
direct access to multiple independent subsea cable systems,
including AEC-2, TGN1, TGN2, and Seabras. Customers can now access
Verizon's global network at NJFX and interconnect with these four
subsea cable systems to Europe and
South America. European-based
clients can transport data to Verizon's PoP at NJFX and extend
their reach to major U.S. metro markets.
NJFX is unique in that it offers access to underground fiber on
a long-haul network from multiple backhaul providers for direct and
diverse connectivity to core U.S. markets, including Ashburn,
Chicago, Dallas, North Carolina, Philadelphia, and other cities, thereby
bypassing common points of network failure such as New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Miami. Access to multiple backhaul routes
creates truly diverse options that ensure reliability, availability
and security of data transport – a critical requirement for
carriers and content providers, financial services, healthcare and
other enterprises, as well as government agencies, which depend
upon maximum uptime.
"At Verizon, we believe that the network is an engine for
business growth and innovation," comments Lynn Smullen, Division Vice President of Sales
at Verizon Partner Solutions, "In order to best serve the needs of
our customers, we must continue to provide reliable, high
performing, secure global connectivity that flexes and scales to
meet the evolving needs of our customers. The deployment of a new
Verizon network Point-of-Presence at NJFX will expand our clients'
transoceanic and terrestrial connectivity options, presenting new
business opportunities both intercontinentally and across
North America."
