In partnership with GIX, Boldyn connects NY and NJ with two distinct Hudson River fiber crossings.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), a major provider of dark and lit fiber in New York, New Jersey and California, now offers two diverse fiber crossings of the Hudson River to connect Manhattan and New Jersey. In addition to its own fiber network, Boldyn has partnered with Global InterXchange, LLC (GIX), a provider of dark fiber infrastructure solutions, to utilize the southernmost fiber crossing connecting Lower Manhattan and Northern New Jersey.
“Mission-critical information requires diverse pathways to ensure continuity, and the GIX Hudson crossing gives Boldyn customers a highly reliable, low-latency parallel connection for both dark and lit fiber in New York and New Jersey,” said Chris Schook, Vice President, Wholesale & Enterprise Solutions for Boldyn Networks, US.
Boldyn offers scalable wavelength service across its fiber network in New York and New Jersey, including along the GIX crossing. Boldyn was one of the first fiber providers in the world to deploy Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 technology which supports 1.6Tb/s per channel, and its current offering is scalable to meet the current and future growth needs of its customers, including 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, scaling to 800Gb/s and up to 1.6Tb/s in the future.
“Our network, and specifically the Hudson crossing, was designed for partnerships like this with Boldyn — to offer diverse and redundant high-speed connectivity for regional growth and innovation in a highly secure and protected route through the PATH tunnel,” said Gregory Nugent, EVP of Sales and Infrastructure at GIX.
The GIX Hudson crossing includes 1.4 miles of fiber cables as the first privately owned, greenfield, carrier-neutral installation across the Hudson River in two decades, linking key integration hubs 60 Hudson Street in New York and 165 Halsey Street in New Jersey.
