"FiberLight has been a terrific partner, particularly in the South Eastern portion of the United States where their dark fiber metro network is quite extensive," said Hunter Newby, Chief Strategy Officer of telx. "Our model has had proven success in New York and Atlanta and will no doubt create efficiencies in the Miami market solving interconnectivity problems for network operators who need access between the Americas." telx is positioning Miami as a strong market for growth due to the growing requirements of carriers and global enterprise network operators to gain access to the major communication networks leading to and from Latin and South America.
