JERICHO, NY, MAY 9, 2016 – Lightpath, a market leader in Ethernet-based communication solutions for New York metropolitan area businesses, today announced that it has established direct international access to its expansive New York metro area fiber network.

Lightpath’s 100% fiber New York metro area network spans more than 7,000 lit locations throughout the region. The company serves sectors with the most stringent data delivery requirements, necessitating direct international access for companies that want to maintain the highest levels of connectivity in and out of the region.
“Lightpath’s dominance in the region, close relationship with businesses and ubiquitous network enhance the value we’re able to offer to businesses throughout the globe that need the most direct local access to this market,” said Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX. “We look forward to enabling reliable, diverse connectivity options for Lightpath customers in a highly-secure, fortified facility that is as close to the edge as a network operator can get.”
