London-registered network operator EXA Infrastructure has today launched its new Managed Fibre Network (MFN) service to “address market demands for increased connectivity and shorter service delivery times“, which is also said to provide the “benefits of dark fibre and equipment ownership“, albeit without the usual costs of in-house delivery.
The new service will take advantage of the company’s existing reach – covering over 155,000 kilometres of fibre across 37 countries, as well as more than 500 Points of Presence (PoP). But the MFN service is currently only available in 29 European countries, plus the United States and Canada (31).
EXA Infrastructure’s said their MFN enables companies to “fill network gaps, connect data centres and cable landing stations, and rapidly scale into markets quickly and effortlessly“.
Steve Roberts, VP of Strategic Investments and Product Management at EXA Infrastructure, said:
“EXA Infrastructure has managed networks for our customers for years, so this is our bread and butter. Our extensive network, combined with extensive experience in managing different variations of subsea services for customers, means that our engineers and NOC staff are well poised to deliver best in breed service across our MFN customers. We are thrilled to launch our MFN offering today and look forward to continuing to support our customers to meet the never-ending demand for connectivity.”
