FiberLight Establishes Diverse Fiber Routes Between Dallas and Mexico
FiberLight, the Alpharetta, GA-based fiber network operator, announced new routes from Dallas to Querétaro and Dallas to Monterrey in partnership with MDC Data Centers, a carrier-neutral colocation services provider along the U.S. border with Mexico, and NeuLink, a new telecom operator based in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. FiberLight provides fiber connectivity services into MDC’s data center in Eagle Pass, TX, and bridges major data centers in the U.S. and Mexico.
“FiberLight is proud to be the first fiber provider to deliver connectivity to Mexico through MDC’s data center in Eagle Pass. Our partnership with NeuLink strengthens our offering for businesses by providing a secure, diverse pathway from Dallas to Querétaro and Dallas to Monterrey,” says Jay Anderson, FiberLight CTO. “As our extensive network footprint in Texas continues to grow, FiberLight provides our customers with a redundant route that enables cross-border connectivity and advances technology initiatives.”
FiberLight’s network spans more than 19,000 fiber route miles, predominantly in Texas, and extends into Southeast and mid-Atlantic states providing connectivity to over 180 data centers and 1,500 towers.
According to the companies, Querétaro and Monterrey are two of the fastest-growing technology hubs in Mexico, where the demand for cloud services and over-the-top media is creating a data center boom. This data center growth is spurring cross-border enterprise trade that requires a secure fiber infrastructure and diverse interconnectivity at strategic crossing points along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Through our partnership with FiberLight and MDC Data Centers, we’re providing a secure, long-haul route between central Mexico into Dallas, and creating a new ecosystem to enable cross-border connectivity,” comments Alejandro Guzman, Co-Founder and CEO of NeuLink.
The new Dallas to Querétaro and Dallas to Monterrey routes represent FiberLight’s focus on expanding its network across Texas and builds on its partnership with MDC Data Centers to diversify pathways into the Mexican market. FiberLight has previously announced connectivity through El Paso and border crossings through Laredo, McAllen, and Brownsville.
Juan Salazar, CEO of MDC Data Centers adds, “Through our partnership with FiberLight and NeuLink, we’re delivering on that vision by providing a carrier-neutral access point that connects NeuLink from central Mexico into the United States and FiberLight’s robust fiber network, meeting the growing demand for new pathways in strategically located markets.”
