Bell Canada and FirstLight team on 400G wavelength services

Bell Canada is working with FirstLight Fiber to offer 400G wavelengths services with triple redundancy routes between Secaucus, NJ, Toronto and Montréal.

The new routes will terminate in Equinix's data center campus in Secaucus, bypassing New York City for two routes:

  1. Toronto – Secaucus
  2. Montréal – Secaucus, via Albany
  3. Montréal – Secaucus, via the Maritimes, going through Manhattan

In addition to existing routes to New York City, these new routes will also enable triversity into New York City:

  • Toronto – Secaucus - NYC
  • Montréal – NYC, via Albany
  • Montréal – NYC, via the Maritimes

"With continued growth in data demand, – particularly because of cloud technology and AI delivered by leading telecom networks like Bell Canada – we are excited to fortify Bell's extensive footprint further with these new routes, which will enable faster and more reliable data transport between the major hubs in Secaucus, Toronto, and Montréal," states Ivan Mihaljevic, SVP, Bell Wholesale.
