customer
BOULDER, Colo. –
A global webscale company has selected Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:
ZAYO) for a dark fiber solution to provide additional capacity to
accommodate increased traffic demand.
The solution consists of more than 835 miles (1,350 kilometers) of long
haul dark fiber located on multiple strategic routes in the UK and
France. The solution utilizes Zayo’s significant European assets
acquired from Geo, Viatel and AboveNet. Zayo’s global network provides
pan-European infrastructure and connectivity to key subsea cable
systems, delivering traffic to and from North America, Asia and Africa.
“In this case, our long-standing customer continues to experience
increasing demand and needed to increase their dark fiber capacity
connecting key markets,” said Annette Murphy, managing director, Europe
at Zayo. “It’s another excellent illustration of Zayo’s ability to meet
the growing demand for capacity over our embedded network.”

both fiber infrastructure and lit solutions to a broad customer set,
including webscale companies, carriers and enterprises in multiple
