Boldyn Networks Expands Fiber Connections Across New York and New Jersey Metro Area
Boldyn Networks, a key player in the fiber optics industry, has taken a significant step in improving its connectivity offerings across the New York and New Jersey landscape. In a collaborative effort with Global InterXchange (GIX), Boldyn now boasts two diverse fiber crossings of the Hudson River, establishing essential links between Manhattan and New Jersey. This expansion is poised to enhance the availability of high-quality fiber services necessary for modern digital communication.
The Significance of Diverse Connectivity
In today's digital environment, the security and reliability of data transmission are paramount. Chris Schook, Vice President of Wholesale Enterprise Solutions at Boldyn Networks, emphasized the importance of maintaining diverse pathways for mission-critical information: "Mission-critical information requires diverse pathways to ensure continuity." With the addition of the GIX Hudson crossing, customers will benefit from a highly reliable and low-latency connection for both dark and lit fiber, essential for businesses that require uninterrupted service.
Innovative Technology and Scalability
Boldyn Networks is not only enhancing its physical infrastructure but also integrating cutting-edge technology into its fiber network. By being among the first in the world to implement Ciena's WaveLogic 6 technology, Boldyn has significantly increased its data transmission capabilities, supporting speeds of up to 1.6Tb/s per channel. The network is designed to be scalable, accommodating future growth for customers with options that currently support 100Gb/s and 400Gb/s, scaling up to 800Gb/s and beyond.
A Focus on Regional Growth and Innovation
Gregory Nugent, EVP of Sales and Infrastructure at GIX, expressed that the Hudson crossing was strategically built to cater to partnerships like the one with Boldyn. This advanced infrastructure allows for diverse and redundant high-speed connectivity, crucial for fostering regional growth and innovation. The route employs a highly secure and protected path through the PATH tunnel, ensuring that data remains safe during transit.
Key Infrastructure Features
The newly established GIX Hudson crossing spans 1.4 miles of fiber cables and is noted for being the first privately owned, greenfield, carrier-neutral installation across the Hudson River in the past 20 years. This new link facilitates connections between significant hubs located at 60 Hudson Street in New York and 165 Halsey Street in New Jersey, enhancing the overall capability and reach of Boldyn's services in the Greater NY Metro area.
