Gold Data announces Mexico fiber network expansion
Gold Data, which provides fiber-optic network services across the Americas, says it will build a fiber network across Mexico that will link the major data centers in Mexico City along with points of presence in other cities in the country, such as Queretaro and Veracruz. The $10 million fiber network deployment project is part of a larger effort in which Gold Data expects to invest $100 million by 2023.
The fiber-optic network deployment in Mexico follows 18 months of upgrades in other parts of Gold Data’s footprint that enhance its ability to provide low-latency multimedia transport services. The time period also has seen Gold Telecom, doing business as GoldConnect, leave the Gold Data Group.
“We are very enthusiastic about Gold Data’s amazing growth over the years and are excited about the opportunity to expand into Mexico to offer our innovative solutions,” stated Renato Tradardi, CEO at Gold Data. “I would like to thank all of our clients, employees, and friends who have supported us and believed in our projects over the past 20 years.”
Founded in 2000 by Tradardi, Sunrise, FL, based Gold Data provides connectivity throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. Its network connects more than 156 points of presence and 76 data centers with operations in 11 countries.
