ITW 2024 and Stockholm, May 14, 2024 – Arelion today announced it has launched two multi-terabit capacity, low-latency routes from Jacksonville, FL to Atlanta, GA and from Jacksonville to Tallahassee, as well as an overbuild from Miami along Florida’s west coast up to Atlanta. These new routes enable Arelion to provide fully diverse connectivity services from Jacksonville to Atlanta via two direct routes. Arelion’s new routes enhance its capability to serve local traffic while also supporting subsea traffic flows into Atlanta from the Caribbean, Central America and South America through subsea cables landing in Jacksonville, continuing the global Internet carrier’s Gulf Coast network expansion.
Arelion’s new routes leverage the latest generation open optical line systems supporting C+L Band, sixth-generation coherent optics and multi-vendor 400G wave capability, empowering Arelion’s wholesale and enterprise customers with high-capacity optical transmission and fast service delivery. These routes will serve Atlanta’s booming data center market and growing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications, with Atlanta ranking as the sixth largest market for commissioned data center power. These routes seamlessly connect to Arelion’s diverse suburban ring to enhance metro connectivity in Atlanta, enabling Arelion to meet the demand for high-capacity bandwidth in Atlanta’s flourishing regional technology markets.
“These new investments in Georgia and Florida allow Arelion to serve the immense demand for reliable connectivity services and tremendous capacity amid Atlanta’s data center boom,” said Art Kazmierczak, Director of Strategic Sales and Network Development at Arelion. “By providing additional meshing and diversity into Atlanta, we can serve the connectivity requirements of local enterprises while supporting subsea traffic from Jacksonville and other Florida edge markets and sea cable landings, enabling low-latency cloud, content and AI/ML delivery across diverse industries.”
