Company secures multiple dark fiber anchor tenants; introduces
diverse wavelengths on route
BOULDER, Colo. –
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) today announced that it has
completed its long haul dark fiber route between Los Angeles and Dallas.
The route complements Zayo’s existing long haul network, enabling
diverse connectivity between major West Coast data center markets to
Dallas, one of the largest data center and interconnection markets in
the U.S.
Zayo secured an anchor tenant and began development of the 2,000-mile
route in 2015, which included upgrades and new construction. Since
construction began, Zayo has secured multiple additional dark fiber and
wavelengths anchor tenants on the route, supporting return on investment
for the strategic project.
Zayo will offer its full range of high-performance connectivity
solutions across the route, enabling 100G wavelengths service later this
month. The new wavelengths route will be diverse from other existing
carrier networks and from Zayo’s existing routes, and will enable unique
options between Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, Ft.
Worth and Dallas. Customer demand is strong, with commitments already in
place.
“Zayo is committed to success-based investments in our network, and this
expansion will help meet the high-bandwidth demands across many
industries,” said Jack Waters, CTO and president of Fiber Solutions at
Zayo. “We continue to collaborate with key customers and construct
critical strategic routes to ensure the availability of high-performance
fiber and infrastructure.”
