Our network is purpose-built; we’ve minimied the splice points, so we are able to provide latency and attenuation numbers that are far below what’s available in the market.” - explains George Cornachini, CTO at GIX. Optimal infrastructure “We take great care in how we architect our infrastructure,” says Gregory Nugent, EVP of Sales and Infrastructure at GIX. “That’s where the partnership comes into play. NYI is uniquely positioned with their exceptional New York metro area expertise, extensive network of in-building conduits, well-established ecosystem of partnerships and ability to cut through complexity — they helped us extend our network reach and connectivity to multiple suites at 60 Hudson Street, under budget and ahead of schedule.” “We’re thrilled to leverage our 60 Hudson Street capabilities to facilitate the establishment of the GIX network not only within our facility but within other locations both inside and outside 60 Hudson,” adds Phillip Koblence, Co-Founder and COO of NYI. "The new GIX fiber route forms a valuable addition to the NY metro connectivity ecosystem and integrating GIX into 60 Hudson delivers against NYI’s ongoing mission to facilitate seamless connectivity in New York and beyond.” The Port Authority likewise has a strong commitment to enhancing the area’s economy. “Data has become a critical aspect of business and trade in this age of AI, with growing volumes of data driving the need for seamless transport of that data,” observes Paul Lombardi, PATH Project Manager at the Port Authority of NY and NJ. “Our partnership with GIX ensures we can support the modernization of critical infrastructure to support current and future digital requirements and attract cutting-edge businesses.” What’s next: To learn more about GIX’s unique offering, contact: Gregory Nugent | EVP of Sales and Infrastructure
