Direct Line to International Cables Primes Virginia Businesses for Economic SuccessCHESAPEAKE, Va., Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Cox Business and Globalinx, a pioneer of subsea cable infrastructure in Virginia Beach announced a strategic partnership. Feeling the impact of globalization, Virginia businesses need to compete on an international scale more than ever and these two industry-leading companies are teaming up to ensure Virginia businesses are ready for success. This new agreement benefits residents of the region and gives Cox Business customers a local, direct and secure connection at the Virginia Beach Cable Landing Station facility. Instead of connecting from New York or Florida, this private network reduces latency and ensures businesses can seamlessly receive IP applications that are in high demand such as Virtual Reality, Internet of Things, and Voice Over IP. "This is an exciting time for the region, and Cox Business is proud to be a part of this endeavor," said Thom Watkins, vice president of Cox Business. "By partnering with Globalinx we're ensuring our enterprise customers have direct access to international cables from right here in Virginia Beach and that's a big economic win for the Hampton Roads region." "Cox Business is the strongest service provider in the Hampton Roads region and has been for many years," said Greg Twitt, CEO of Globalinx. "This is truly a winning combination for Virginia Beach and it confirms what we've known all along – that Hampton Roads is primed to be a key player on the international business stage." Globalinx provides subsea colocation to international cable systems as well as data center services on 20 acres in the Corporate Landing ecosystem. Healthcare facilities, government/military, and educational institutions also now have the ability to connect to international counterparts by way of Globalinx subsea cable connections to overseas markets.
