C3ntro Telecom (C3ntro) announced the launch of its most ambitious initiative to date: the Tikva Project. Tikva represents a transformative leap in cross-border connectivity, establishing a state-of-the-art, 2,500-kilometer fiber optic network between Phoenix, Arizona, and Querétaro, Mexico. Designed with AI-ready fiber technology, multi-duct capacity, and a diverse, low-latency Pacific route, Tikva delivers a fully underground, redundant cross-border solution. This milestone marks the first project of its kind in over 25 years and positions C3ntro as the single provider delivering unified service-level agreements (SLAs) across the U.S. and Mexico, while covering key cities along Mexico’s Pacific corridor.
Flex has significantly increased the production capacity for its data center power products—databar, professional development units (PDUs), and remote power panels (RPPs)—at its advanced manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina.
Arelion is set to integrate Gold Data’s dark fiber route into its existing network, enhancing connectivity diversity for wholesale and enterprise customers operating between key data centers in Mexico.
Sabey Data Centers (Sabey) announced that new capacity at two of its Washington state campuses will become available in the beginning of Q4, 2025.
