Windstream Wholesale has expanded its Beach Route Dark Fiber Alliance to include South Reach Networks (SRN). This extends Windstream Wholesale’s reach by adding a new segment from the Jacksonville, Fla., Cable Landing Station to Miami. This extension adds 360 miles of dark fiber, bringing the total alliance route mile count to 1,400.
The new expansion passes through key locations in South Florida, enhancing connectivity options for international data traffic. Miami's strategic position as a major gateway for communication between North America, Latin America, and Europe makes it a Tier 1 access hub for data exchange between continents. The 100% underground fiber optic network from Miami to Jacksonville provides customers with a seamless, high-performing solution. Meanwhile, Windstream Wholesale's Beach Route spans 690 miles from Jacksonville to Raleigh, North Carolina, offering low-latency connections crucial for cloud services and content delivery providers. The route has been extended north by 315 miles through the Beach Route Dark Fiber Alliance, which includes Mid-Atlantic Broadband, Tilson Infrastructure, and SummitIG, linking key hubs along the East Coast.
Windstream Wholesale now offers a one-stop fiber solution between Miami and Ashburn, managing all aspects of the network transaction under one contract and one dedicated account team while the customer enjoys the benefits of more fiber, more miles, and more diversity and connectivity options along the coast.
Joe Scattareggia, president of Windstream Wholesale, expressed his enthusiasm for the expanded alliance, stating, “Extending the Beach Route to Miami marks a pivotal milestone in our mission to deliver unparalleled connectivity solutions and maintain our commitment to flexible partnerships. Including South Reach Networks in our alliance allows us to offer our customers even greater reach and performance, further cementing our position as a market leader.”
