STOCKHOLM and ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Arelion today announced a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Guadalajara, further expanding the Tier-1 global Internet carrier's presence in Mexico.

With this new PoP, Arelion positions itself as a reliable connectivity partner for multinational enterprises in Guadalajara's thriving electronics, manufacturing and information technology sectors.
"Arelion continues its mission of organic expansion in Mexico to provide resilient, low-latency connectivity to wholesale and enterprise customers," said Luis Velasquez, Mexico Business Manager, Arelion. "This new PoP in Guadalajara will serve as an aggregation point for Internet service providers seeking access to Mexico's largest connectivity markets, strengthening the region's ecosystem through Tier-1 connectivity services."
"Arelion's new PoP at our carrier-neutral GDL data center will bolster the local Guadalajara network connectivity, providing high-capacity access to cloud, content and connectivity services for companies that rely on our Guadalajara data center to localize content & traffic," said Manny Vivar, HostDime CEO. "Our data center is one of the only carrier-neutral sites in the region. With Arelion, our facility strengthens its position as a primary Guadalajara network hub through fully resilient, diverse connectivity to Arelion's global Tier-1 network being on-net."

The GDL facility is also home to the only peering exchange in the region Guadalajara Internet Exchange Point (GDL-IXP). The partnership with Arelion, HostDime and GDL-IXP will accelerate improvement of Guadalajara's network ecosystem that will benefit the entire community of users and providers.
