\u201cCologix 151 Front Street is a highly strategic location for interconnection to our unique network services,\u201d said Fergus Innes, Chief Commercial Officer of Crosslake Fibre. \u201cThe Cologix platform gives us access to more markets, carriers, clouds and countries. Cologix is in tune with the growing demand for subsea connectivity and is well-positioned to scale alongside us. Toronto is rapidly growing into a critical core for the next generation of business-critical fibre to enable the future of colocation. We\u2019re excited to partner with Cologix to expand connections in this key technology hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud that Crosslake Fibre chose to partner with us for this innovative offering,\u201d said Laura Ortman, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Cologix. \u201cHosting Crosslake Fibre\u2019s Toronto submarine cable endpoint spanning Lake Ontario opens an additional Canada \u2013 US corridor that is the fastest, most direct route from Toronto to New York and Chicago. Together, we share a vision of reducing latency and connecting the world at greater speeds.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cologix operates seven discrete suites at TOR1, located at 151 Front Street, which is one of Canada\u2019s largest and most important telecommunications hubs and home to the Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX).

\u201cThe addition of Crosslake Fibre to our Toronto market further solidifies Cologix\u2019s position as a premier interconnection provider for North American businesses,\u201d added Ortman. \u201cThis partnership helps to address the growing demand for additional fibre capacity hastened by Toronto\u2019s technology boom. Major technology companies have set up offices there and it\u2019s positioned to be the next Silicon Valley.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
