“Mobilitie’s fiber network represents a massive expansion of connectivity throughout the Bay Area,” said Christos Karmis, CEO of Mobilitie. “We are looking forward to bringing additional connectivity into critical data centers and working with Digital Realty and local businesses to address their connectivity needs. The nearly 200 route miles of fiber backbone that Mobilitie is installing will also provide improved connectivity to mobile networks as well as enterprises with wireless, private networks, and edge computing needs.”
With more organizations moving applications and data to the cloud and interacting with their customers, vendors, and partners, reliable and high-speed connectivity is more critical than ever before. To address this need, Mobilitie is serving the fast-growing Bay area market with much needed incremental and diverse fiber options that provides thousands of businesses with improved high-speed and reliable connectivity, including access into multiple data center facilities. Mobilitie’s 200 route miles of fiber connectivity broke ground in June 2021, with the first segments already complete, including high count fiber running through the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District’s Transbay Tube connecting San Francisco and Oakland.
