WALL, N.J., Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NJFX, the only Cable Landing Station (CLS) colocation campus in the U.S offering Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities, announces Epsilon a privately-owned global communications service provider, activated a next-generation network route at NJFX to meet the high demand for diverse network architectures. This new, independent route is now operational with live customer traffic and bypasses legacy NYC chokepoints, providing a secure network option to Europe from Ashburn, Virginia.

"The leadership role Epsilon has taken to support the global networking community is recognized as a critical connectivity infrastructure initiative; eliminating single points of failure like NYC and ensuring global traffic isn't impacted by issues in the region," states Gil Santaliz, CEO for NJFX.

Founded on helping carriers strategically diversify their connectivity options, NJFX provides secure access to key hubs across North America and Europe, improving upon legacy architectures and paving the way for innovative capabilities. Through NJFX, network service providers can also leverage Epsilon's on-demand connectivity platform, Infiny. Infiny is a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platform that gives users access to on-demand local, regional and global connectivity.

The next step in eliminating points of failure in the US will be bypassing Miami as the only major gateway for LATAM and the Caribbean. This is now available from NJFX in conjunction with several carriers using a cable system connecting New Jersey to Boca Raton, Florida via the Atlantic, then routing directly to Puerto Rico.

Santaliz, along with other industry leaders, will discuss benefits of connecting subsea cable systems at a data center, subsea cable optimization achievements, emerging markets and industry drivers. As the only event that focused exclusively on cables connecting or landing in North, South, and Central America, the conference highlights new cable builds and the stakeholders involved in bringing these subsea projects to fruition.
