FirstLight Fiber has added a point of presence (PoP) at 325 Hudson, which will serve as FirstLight’s primary location in New York City.
FirstLight provides high-speed data, Internet, colocation and voice services to enterprise and carrier customers in New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine, with up to 100Gbps. connectivity at most of its 1,600 on-net locations, and has the ability to connect to 10,000 near-net locations.
“New York City is key to our interconnection strategy because it is among the world’s top communications hubs,” said James Capuano, chief of network operations. “FirstLight’s growth has necessitated the need for a greater presence in New York City and locating our PoP at 325 Hudson was a natural choice since it enables convenient access to the major regional, national and international carriers that we work with.”
“The deployment of FirstLight at 325 Hudson allows FirstLight to offer new levels of performance in terms of speed to market and an ability to raise awareness of the impressive fiber network they own and operate,” added Hunter Newby, joint venture partner at 325 Hudson. “It also gives FirstLight a true neutral alternative in New York City, and the ability to connect their partners throughout Upstate New York.”
