Windstream Launches Five New Fiber Routes
Windstream today announced the opening of five strategically located fiber routes on its nationwide long-haul fiber transport network.
Secured as part of Windstream’s recent merger with EarthLink, these new routes offer customers cost-effective access to greater network diversity options, improved reliability and higher bandwidth capacity. The newly-opened routes include:
- Dallas to Atlanta: a low-latency, direct route bridging the two markets with add/drop capability in Birmingham, Jackson and Shreveport
- Miami to Atlanta: running along the Gulf Coast via Tampa, this route complements the existing route traveling along the Atlantic Coast via Jacksonville. Customers with traffic terminating in the U.S. via the Miami NAP international landing station benefit from the diverse routing options over Windstream’s network
- Raleigh to Savannah: also called the “Beach Route,” this route offers another unique, direct path extending along the Eastern seaboard
- Houston to Gulfport: referred to as the “Gulf Coast Route,” this route offers add/drop capability in Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge and New Orleans
- Memphis to Charlotte: this path utilizes optical fiber composite overhead ground wire, offering customers unique routing over a highly reliable infrastructure
“Connecting several markets in the deep South, as well as along the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, these routes offer Windstream Wholesale customers even greater network efficiency and performance, along with access to our entire scalable, secure fiber solutions suite,” said Buddy Bayer, senior vice president of transport engineering for Windstream. “Additionally, our unique Miami to Atlanta route offers our international customers diverse, low-latency 100G connectivity to Tier 1, 2 and 3 markets across the country. This premier entry point unlocks the key to market expansion for many international carriers, especially those in Latin America.”’
