“Minneapolis is one of the fastest growing interconnect markets in the country. The network in Chicago is already overbuilt; the opportunities are now in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets where we are seeing strong demand,” said Neutral Path Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Jay Hanke. “Content is moving closer to the edge eyeballs, and that’s where the Neutral Path fiber route plays an important role. We bring high-speed content delivery closer to the end-user, with Neutral Path’s low-cost transport providing access to all of those resources to bring costs down along the path.”

“Cologix is always working to bring new connectivity options into its Meet-Me-Rooms so our local service provider and enterprise communities can benefit from additional choice,” explained Kim Gerhart, general manager, Cologix.  “Neutral Path is a great example of a forward-looking network that has leveraged a unique approach to bring capacity to rapidly growing edge markets and we are pleased to support them in Minneapolis.”
