Colt Technology Services (Colt), the global digital infrastructure company, today announced the expansion of its US capabilities with the Apollo South Transatlantic route now terminating directly into New Jersey Fibre Exchange (NJFX), a Colt network Point of Presence. The new NJFX landing point for the subsea cable links businesses with operations in New Jersey and New York City to Colt’s own network, offering them the enhanced capacity, reliability and security experienced by Colt’s ‘on net’ customers.
Apollo South links Lannion in Brittany, North West France, to New Jersey, USA and interconnects with thousands of different points in Europe to give enterprises access to Colt’s seamless, secure network services. The Europe to US transatlantic subsea cable route is one of the most in-demand routes in the world, as businesses need diverse and resilient, high performance global infrastructure to manage their growth in traffic generated by AI, cloud services, IoT and other bandwidth-heavy applications.
Colt expands its US infrastructure with new route
The new service is ideal for NJFX tenants and Colt customers with locations, sites and branches in New Jersey and New York City which they want to connect to sites around the world including financial services customers transferring data between some of the world’s largest financial hubs; retailers exploring new revenue streams and expanding into the States and manufacturers with facilities and offices in Europe and the US. ‘On net’ services include Wave, IP and Ethernet services with bandwidths up to 100Gb.
Connecting to Colt’s own digital infrastructure means organisations benefit from a wider choice of services including improved network performance; robust security; real-time network flexing; and faster quoting, ordering and delivery.
Buddy Bayer, Colt’s chief operating officer, said, “Today’s thriving businesses operate as part of an interconnected global economy, and that requires robust, secure and high performing access to digital services. This latest strategic move for us connecting Apollo South to NJFX offers more businesses effortless access to Colt’s powerful, global, award-winning fibre infrastructure, our deep commitment to sustainability and unrivalled customer experience.”
Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX, said, “With NJFX and Colt customers now having enhanced network access directly in New Jersey, approximately three miles from the Apollo South cable landing station, we are setting new standards for network transparency and resilience. This strategic connection empowers businesses to scale confidently while benefiting from a secure, high-quality infrastructure that supports their global connectivity needs.”
