Businesswire ·  10/09 21:00

Upgraded capacity provides financial, media and carrier industries with high-bandwidth connectivity essential for innovation and growth

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zayo, a leading communications infrastructure provider, today announced the expansion of its 400G wavelength network to address rapidly increasing bandwidth needs in the New York/New Jersey metro area. As one of the only providers bringing new capacity to the area, Zayo's 400G network provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity to key industries in the economic epicenter of New York and offers connectivity to other key markets on Zayo's largest independent network.



"As one of the most competitive business markets in the world, businesses in New York require a network that can help them keep up," said Bill Long, Chief Product & Strategy Officer. "The expansion of our 400G network in New York is a true competitive differentiation for our customers. Not only are we providing the big bandwidth industries need for today and the future, but we are enabling our customers with the most modern, carrier-diverse, and low-latency connectivity to other key markets across the country and globe, in a way that no other provider can."

Leveraging Ciena technology, the expansion will optimize connections between Zayo's metro network in New York and its extended long-haul network to ensure faster service delivery and experience across North America and the globe. Zayo's 400G metro network in New York will link into key routes like Zayo's SPREAD Network, the single most direct and lowest-latency route between New York and Chicago—the two largest financial markets in North America. It will also connect into major data centers and subsea cables in the New York metro for fast access to international networks to reach key markets like Latin America.

This added capacity will support several critical industries, including but not limited to:

  • Finance: Zayo will resolve bandwidth bottlenecks in New York, the finance capital of the world, providing the ultra-low latency and high bandwidth needed for real-time trading and secure transactions and the most direct connection, via Zayo's Spread Network, between New York and Chicago—the two largest financial markets in North America.
  • Carrier: The added critical capacity to the dense carrier region will support seamless connectivity for massive North American traffic. It will also connect to major subsea cables to support connectivity from North America to Europe and beyond.
  • Media & Entertainment: Zayo's 400G capacity will ensure reliable content delivery for New York's media hub, meeting the growing demand for large bandwidth to support HD video, streaming, and AI services.

This expansion marks the latest addition to Zayo's 400G network, as Zayo continues to be one of the few providers actively investing in expanding its network and 400G capacity. Currently one of the largest 400G networks in North America, Zayo's long haul network is now more than 90% 400G enabled and on track to be fully 400G enabled by the end of 2024.

Zayo's New York-New Jersey 400G metro network will be ready for service in early 2025. To learn more about the expansion and Zayo's complete 400G capabilities, visit .
