# GIX solutions

Pages: [Home](https://gixfiber.com/index.md) · [Network](https://gixfiber.com/network/index.md) · **Solutions** (this file) · [Company](https://gixfiber.com/about/index.md) · [Resources](https://gixfiber.com/dark-fiber-resources/index.md) · [Contact](https://gixfiber.com/contact-us/index.md)

GIX sells **dark fiber**: the glass itself, by IRU or lease. You light it with your own equipment and run your network your way. We are a carrier's carrier: we don't sell lit capacity, managed services, or colocation.

## What you get

- Dedicated fiber between 165 Halsey Street (Newark) and 60 Hudson Street (Manhattan), or any segment of the route
- The lowest-latency path between those two buildings: 88,883 ns one-way optical fiber latency
- Handoff in the 165 Halsey meet-me room (MMR 2) and on GIX's own riser in 60 Hudson
- A physically separate crossing of the Hudson, inside PATH Tunnel F

## How we deliver

1. You send the A and Z ends, fiber count, and timing.
2. We confirm the route and share detailed maps.
3. We splice and test the fiber before handoff. Each quote includes an installation estimate.

## Ways to buy

- **IRU:** a long-term right to use the fiber.
- **Lease:** fiber leased from GIX.

We quote the term and price for each route. Pricing is not published.

## Common uses

| Use | Why GIX |
|---|---|
| Route diversity | A physically separate Hudson crossing into Lower Manhattan, open to any carrier |
| Data center reach | New Jersey capacity into the 60 Hudson carrier hotel, then floor to floor on our riser |
| Low-latency links | The fastest connection between 165 Halsey and 60 Hudson |
| Part of the route | The New Jersey run, the river crossing, or the routes in Lower Manhattan on their own |

## Ask for a quote

Email sales@gixfiber.com or call the MCP tool `request_quote` at `https://gixfiber.com/mcp`. Include locations, fiber count, timeline, and IRU or lease preference.
