In today’s hyper-connected world, where cyberattacks evolve as quickly as digital innovation, true cybersecurity begins much deeper than most organizations realize. Firewalls, SOC operations and endpoint protection are essential, but they address only part of the risk landscape. The most overlooked layer of cybersecurity is also the most fundamental: the physical fiber infrastructure that carries […]
The New Wave of Fiber M&A Across the digital infrastructure landscape, fiber is the new frontier of mergers and acquisitions. Strategic buyers — from hyperscalers and global carriers to infrastructure funds and private equity — are accelerating investments in high-capacity, low-latency fiber networks that underpin the world’s data economy. The trend is clear: network routes […]
New York City’s universities are driving innovation through data-intensive research, AI, and global collaboration—but all of it depends on one thing: a high-performance network. GIX Fiber’s carrier-neutral dark fiber provides the foundation for this innovation, connecting 60 Hudson Street, 165 Halsey Street, and soon 111 8th Avenue via diverse, hurricane-proof, and low-latency routes. With exclusive […]
The Key to Ultra-Fast 5G/6G Small Cells in NYC, insights for Telecom Leaders New York City’s path to 5G and beyond is paved with dark fiber.

Financial firms in New York operate under a dense web of expectations—NYDFS Part 500, SEC (Reg SCI, Reg S-P), FINRA, PCI DSS, and FFIEC. None name specific carriers, but all demand proof: encryption in transit, documented path diversity, tested failover, continuous monitoring, and strong third-party oversight. The fastest, cleanest way to satisfy the letter and […]
Low-Latency. Dual POEs. Edge-Ready. New York City is rewriting the rules of where compute lives. As media, fintech, AI inference, and IoT fleets demand instant responses, capacity is stepping out of monolithic data halls and into distributed, micro-scale facilities closer to users and devices. Micro-POPs and micro-data centers are accelerating content delivery, trimming backhaul costs, […]
Preparing for the Next Wave of Secure Communications Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept—it’s here, moving from lab experiments into real-world pilots. While this progress holds incredible promise, it also introduces a serious challenge: the encryption methods we rely on today will be vulnerable to tomorrow’s quantum-powered attacks. The future of network security […]
Navigating the Obstacles of Urban Fiber Deployment New York City is one of the world’s busiest digital hubs. Its financial institutions, hyperscale cloud providers and content networks generate enormous data flows that demand ultra‑low latency and ironclad reliability.
