Zayo announced its latest round of critical infrastructure upgrades, including its newest long-haul dark fiber route connecting Columbus to Pittsburgh and a highly sought-after 400G-enabled wavelength route connecting Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. The new long-haul dark fiber route connecting Columbus to Pittsburgh is carrier-diverse, 100% underground, and built with a high fiber count for maximum scalability and uptime availability.
Zayo has also added four additional routes to its 400G network—currently the largest 400G network in North America—in key markets including:
- Indianapolis to Columbus
- Cut Bank, Mont. to Calgary
- New Orleans to Ponchatoula, La.
- Grand Rapids, Mich. to Lansing, Mich.
Zayo is also expanding its leading IP network with the addition of 27 critical IP points of presence (PoPs) and 400G peering locations across North America. The addition of new IP PoPs and peering locations to Zayo’s tier-1 IP network guarantees scalable and dependable capacity availability. Built on Zayo’s wholly-owned fiber backbone, Zayo’s IP network also ensures enhanced reliability and performance with reduced latency to support the high-speed connectivity these applications require.
“While technology innovations like AI and next-gen cloud surge ahead, continued investment in network infrastructure to support this demand is critical. As the largest independent network, Zayo is in a prime position to bring network infrastructure up to par with today’s innovation, and ensure we and our customers are ready for what’s next,” said Bill Long, Chief Product & Strategy Officer at Zayo. “Our latest infrastructure expansions demonstrate our continuous efforts to provide our customers with unique, diverse, low-latency routes — where they need it today and where we know they'll need it tomorrow.”
