GTA, the leading telecommunications provider in Guam, has announced that the GTA GNC Data Center is now a strategic point of presence (PoP) for Cogent Communications, one of the world’s largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
“We are thrilled to welcome Cogent to GTA’s GNC Data Center”
As the United States westernmost territory, Guam is a landing point for many trans-Pacific cables, earning it the moniker “the NAP of the Pacific.” GTA operates Guam’s only modern, purpose-built carrier neutral data center that provides simple, direct connectivity to each of Guam’s cable landing stations and related 12 subsea cable systems with the ability to host content for the world’s largest companies. This partnership will provide Cogent Communications with a vital link between the Asia Pacific region and the US, offering their customers increased connectivity options, reduced latency, and enhanced route diversity.
