Agreement extends the Marea, Dunant and Brusa subsea cable systems to New Jersey
Telxius, the telecoms infrastructure firm owned by Telefonica, has teamed up with NJFX to give customers on-demand access to redundant subsea cable infrastructure across the Atlantic and Latin America.
NJFX is a carrier-neutral cable landing station (CLS) colocation campus in Wall, New Jersey, US.
Telxius says the deal means it will be able to offer its customers “diverse global solutions through submarine cables landing at or nearby NJFX and serve subsea cable restoration needs between cable systems landing at NJFX and the Telxius’ Virginia Beach cable landing station”.
Telxius offers a direct terrestrial fibre route between its CLS in Virginia Beach and NJFX’s campus – the most direct link between the two sites, extending the capabilities and services of its Marea, Dunant and Brusa subsea cable systems.
Customers using hubs in Chicago, Montreal, New York, Richmond and Toronto will be able to plug into multi-terabit capacity and range of services.
This vital link bypasses Ashburn in the state of Virginia to bring diversity to the routes and avoid Ashburn’s “overly dense infrastructure”.
Telxius’ new presence at NJFX will provide NJFX’s customers with direct access to the Telxius global submarine network consisting of over 80,000 km of high-capacity fibre optic submarine cables with diverse terrestrial backhauls.
This will allow NJFX’s customers access to Telxius complete array of services Including Tier-1 IP Transit, global capacity, colocation and security solutions. Telxius’ low latency, diverse and robust Atlantic routes are powered by almost 100 PoPs in 18 countries, 25 landing stations and two communications hubs connecting to world-leading data centres.
By joining the NJFX interconnection platform, Telxius and its customers gain direct, on-demand interconnection with Havfrue/AEC-2, Seabras-1, TGN1 and TGN2, providing diverse connectivity across both the Atlantic and to Latin America.
Customers include enterprises, content and media provider, government and other telecoms operators.
