Global InterXchange, LLC (GIX), announced on Monday its dark fiber route is going live, spanning the Hudson River and linking key integration hubs 60 Hudson Street in New York and 165 Halsey Street in New Jersey. This milestone leverages fiber technologies and equipment, cementing a public-private partnership with the Port Authority of NY and NJ.
“The activation of our historic dark fiber route not only sets a new standard for connectivity across the Hudson River,” said Joe Falco, President of GIX, “but also delivers reliable, high-speed connectivity that empowers local businesses, communities and global companies through enhanced infrastructure, fostering growth and innovation.”
The new GIX dark fiber route was built to ensure the lowest latency and data transmission, with two unique paths into 60 Hudson Street, boosting network diversity and resilience for financial, telecom, hyperscalers and colocation facilities. This network, using the PATH tunnel, features end-to-end Prysmian fiber cable made of Corning SMF-28® Ultra glass with minimal splice points to enhance operational efficiency, and reducing latency with fortified physical security.
“This work ensures we can support the modernization of critical infrastructure to support current and future digital requirements and attract cutting-edge businesses,” said PATH Project Manager Paul Lombardi.
