Global InterXchange (GIX) launched a groundbreaking dark fiber route across the Hudson River, marking a significant leap in New York metro area connectivity. This privately owned, carrier-neutral installation is the first in two decades.
Key features of this new, activated dark fiber network include:
Two unique paths into 60 Hudson Street, boosting network diversity and resilience
The southernmost Hudson River dark fiber crossing
1.4 miles of fiber cables through PATH tunnels
8,000 feet of buried greenfield fiber across Jersey City, Kearny and Newark
Advanced security measures, including state-of-the-art manhole systems and 16-ton floodgates
This infrastructure upgrade promises to deliver the lowest latency and fastest data transmission speeds between Lower Manhattan and Northern New Jersey. It's expected to significantly benefit financial institutions, telecom companies, hyperscalers and colocation facilities in the region.
Joe Falco, GIX's President, emphasized the route's potential to empower businesses and communities through enhanced connectivity. The timing aligns with growing data demands in the AI era, promising a future of unprecedented possibilities.
GIX, committed to pushing the boundaries of connectivity, plans further expansion with the Port Authority. This expansion is a testament to our dedication to continually improving regional connectivity standards, ensuring a reliable and efficient network for all.
This development represents a major step forward in the region's digital infrastructure, and it is set to drive innovation and improved connectivity for years to come.
