Hurricane Electric Uses Zayo 100G

BOULDER, Colo. -- Zayo Group today announced that Hurricane Electric Internet Services, the world’s largest IPv6-native internet backbone, has purchased 100G Wavelength services on Zayo’s newly installed 100G routes. Zayo’s recently deployed 100G Wavelength upgraded routes include New York to Washington, D.C. and Chicago to Memphis.Hurricane Electric is connected to 60 major exchange points and exchanges traffic directly with more than 2,700 different networks. The new 100G technology will provide a latency improvement relative to prior service applications. The new technology will reduce management need through network management requirements. Zayo’s 100G technology will also create greater per Gigabit cost efficiencies relative to prior service deployments.Zayo Group began its implementation of 100G wavelength services across major markets in the U.S. in late 2012, servicing routes along the eastern corridor including New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C., and a Chicago to Memphis route. Additional routes will be added later this year. The 100G system transmits information at 100 billion bits per second, offering the fastest dedicated line currently available to enterprise-level customers.Hurricane Electric
