The first new carrier-neutral dark fiber route across the Hudson in over two decades is here—and it’s changing everything.

For decades, the Hudson River has been both a physical and digital barrier—particularly for organizations demanding high-speed, low-latency, and redundant connectivity between New Jersey and Manhattan. Now, GIX Fiber is rewriting the playbook with the first privately owned, carrier-neutral dark fiber route to cross the Hudson River in more than 20 years.

Why the Hudson River Crossing Matters
With data volumes exploding and demand from hyperscalers, trading firms, and data center operators surging, network diversity across the Hudson isn’t a luxury—it’s mission critical.

Yet the limited number of viable river crossings has created bottlenecks, over-utilization, and vulnerability to outages.

GIX’s new route solves this with:

• A direct underground build from Jersey City to 165 Halsey Street
• A brand-new Hudson River crossing through the PATH Tunnel
• Dual Points of Entry into 60 Hudson Street, one of the most connected buildings in the world
• Expansion to 111 8th Avenue for full Manhattan coverage by late 2025

The GIX Advantage

✅ Carrier-Neutral, Client-Controlled:
You own the fiber. No middlemen. No carrier lock-in.

✅ Exclusive Rights in the PATH Tunnel:
GIX is the only carrier with infrastructure in this corridor—ensuring unparalleled route diversity.

✅ Resilience Engineered from the Ground Up:
From dual POEs to two 16-ton flood gates, the GIX build is hurricane-proof, future-ready, and security-first.

✅ Next-Gen Infrastructure:
Prysmian cables with Corning® SMF-28® Ultra glass deliver industry-leading optical performance.

✅ Manhole-to-Manhole Control:
Clients gain true diversity for cross-Hudson builds—ideal for banks, trading desks, and hyperscalers requiring dual-path routing.
