Equinix To Open New Digital Gateway To Northern Europe
Increased interconnection on data route to drive more opportunity for Nordic businesses.
Equinix, Inc. has announced it is working with Eastern Light for its new international fiber optic cable route in northern Europe. The new cable system is non-amplified and designed to let customers use their own equipment on their own dark fiber and will go from Sweden (Stockholm) to Finland (Hanko, Helsinki and Kotka). Along this route the cable will terminate in two Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX®) data centers — HE6 in Helsinki and SK2 in Stockholm — which are key interconnection points for the Nordics and help facilitate the flow of global internet traffic in and out of the region.
