In July 2024, Global InterXchange, LLC (GIX) achieved a remarkable milestone by launching the first privately owned, carrier-neutral dark fiber network across the Hudson River in two decades. This groundbreaking project connects 60 Hudson Street in New York to 165 Halsey Street in New Jersey, significantly enhancing connectivity between crucial data exchange hubs in the Northeast.

GIX’s initiative, made possible through a pioneering public-private partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, sets a new standard for data transmission and infrastructure modernization. The network employs cutting-edge fiber technologies, ensuring low latency and high-speed data transfer, which is vital for financial institutions, telecom companies, hyperscalers, and colocation facilities. With dual paths for enhanced reliability, robust infrastructure, and advanced security measures, GIX’s dark fiber network is poised to transform connectivity in the region.

As GIX looks to the future, plans for further expansions will continue to cater to the growing demands of a data-driven economy.
