Featured Market Notes
Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles is one of our primary west-coast handoff markets for trans-Pacific reach, bridging Asia-facing capacity into dense North American carrier ecosystems. Measured latency: ~145 ms to HKG, ~101 ms to TYO, ~26 ms to SEA, connected via SFMIX with 100 Gbps committed capacity.
New York (NYC)
New York represents our east-coast financial and transatlantic market focus, where low-latency delivery and backbone diversity matter most for enterprise-grade traffic profiles. Measured latency: ~92 ms to LON (trans-Atlantic), ~57 ms to LAX (cross-continental), ~6 ms to IAD (metro), with 150 Gbps committed capacity and NYIIX + DE-CIX New York peering.
Seattle (SEA)
Seattle serves as our Pacific Northwest gateway with exceptionally low latency to East Asia. Measured latency: ~85 ms to TYO, ~115 ms to TPE, ~130 ms to HKG, connected via SIX Seattle with 100 Gbps committed capacity and upstream providers HE, Cogent.
Marseille (MRS)
Marseille is a strategic Mediterranean cable landing market that strengthens south-European access to EMEA and subsea routes between east and west. Measured latency: ~14 ms to FRA, ~21 ms to BER, ~26 ms to LON, connected via France-IX with 80 Gbps committed capacity.
Melbourne (MEL)
Melbourne provides our Oceania foothold, connecting Australia to our Asia-Pacific backbone via Singapore. Measured latency: ~89 ms to SIN, ~114 ms to TYO, ~138 ms to HKG, via HE and Superloop upstream connectivity.
