Global internet backbone and data services provider Arelion and Latin American network provider Gold Data have announced a strategic partnership to leverage dark fibre infrastructure.
The partners plan to connect Arelion’s point of presence (PoP) at technology solutions group KIO Networks’ MEX 5 data centre in Tultitlán in central México, with its PoP at KIO Networks’ QRO1 data centre in Querétaro in the north-central area of the country.
This collaboration, the partners say, underscores the two companies’ commitment to supporting Latin America’s economic growth through high-capacity, low-latency connectivity. The route is a completely underground fibre construction, allowing Arelion to provide high-availability, resilient connectivity services through Gold Data’s high-performance infrastructure.
Gold Data’s dark fibre route will be integrated into Arelion’s existing network, providing enhanced diversity for wholesale and enterprise customers operating between these key data centres. Arelion’s Querétaro PoPs also serve as centralised hubs supporting access to content and applications for customers in Guadalajara in the west, San Luis Potosí in eastern and central Mexico, and Mérida in the southeast.
Gold Data brings local expertise to this partnership through its extensive fibre-optic network across Latin America. Its collaboration with Arelion bolsters Mexico’s booming cloud, ICT and manufacturing sectors through reliable, high-speed connectivity services and digital transformation.
By strengthening diverse connectivity between KIO MEX 5 and KIO QRO1, Arelion and Gold Data say they are poised to meet Mexico’s demand for robust, scalable network solutions. This collaboration, they add, enhances service resilience in the region and advances the country’s position as a leading digital hub in Latin America.
This partnership provides Arelion’s customers in the region with enhanced access to Arelion’s number one ranked global internet backbone, as well as Arelion’s portfolio of reliable, fully diverse connectivity services, including scalable IP Transit, Wavelengths, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Cloud Connect, Global 40G Ethernet Virtual Circuit (VC) and DDoS Mitigation services for service providers, content providers and enterprises.
