Zayo Group Holdings, a leading Tier 1 provider of communications infrastructure solutions, announced the launch of a new Bordeaux wavelength route connecting Paris and Marseille. The Bordeaux route leverages Zayo’s extensive fibre-optic network in France and affirms Zayo’s commitment to delivering best-in-class infrastructure solutions to customers across Europe and around the world.
Bordeaux is a strategic connection for Zayo’s global network due to its central location in the South West region of France, thriving technology industry and proximity to cable landing station locations. Zayo’s expansion in Bordeaux provides opportunities to tap into this growing market and provide critical connectivity infrastructure to support the region’s digital economy.
With the addition of the Bordeaux route expanding the Paris to Marseille network delivered at the start of 2023, Zayo now provides these regions with access to Europe, the Middle East and North America. This ensures maximum uptime and minimal disruption to customers’ operations while also providing greater network flexibility and resiliency.
As part of the route expansion, Zayo selected Equinix’s first International Business Exchange data centre in Bordeaux (BX1) as one of its major hubs on the new route. This will act as the connectivity hub for the new Amitié subsea cable, delivered this summer by a consortium of Hyperscalers made up of Microsoft and Meta, Orange, Vodafone and Aquacomms. It will play a key role in responding to rapidly increasing bandwidth demand in the region.
