Telia Carrier has announced that it has established a network point-of-presence at the OJUS Cable Landing Station in Hollywood, Florida.
The new network infrastructure provides resilient network options for customers wishing diverse connectivity to the Nap of the Americas in Miami and Equinix MI3 in Boca Raton, as well as Telia Carrier’s global IP backbone, AS1299.
The diverse buried fiber construction of the Telia Carrier backhaul systems offer additional protection from the natural threats that can impact the region, such as hurricanes. Protecting the on-land portion of the network from the potential damages of such storms, including fiber cuts, is critical to the companies, systems and networks that rely on the uptime of the expensive subsea cable capacity they connect to. The survivability can be greatly enhanced in these situations leveraging almost 45 miles of physical separation between the facilities in Boca Raton and Miami.
“Telia Carrier is dedicated to delivering reliable and secure connectivity to address the continued growth of bandwidth demand in the region,” said Art Kazmierczak, director of business development, Americas, at Telia Carrier. “The diverse network design provides dual or protected connection options to MAYA-1 and other subsea cable systems and allows Telia Carrier to service Central and South American customers with the resiliency and high-speed performance that they demand.”
