Bandwidth Infrastructure Group (Bandwidth IG), one of the fastest growing pure-play metro dark fibre providers in the US, has announced its dark fibre connectivity solutions are now available in Greater Portland, Oregon. Already available throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Atlanta, Bandwidth IG’s high-quality fibre is now offered in a third market and delivers best-in-class network performance to data centres, hyperscalers and enterprises in the rapidly developing Portland area.
Hillsboro is one of the fastest growing US data centre markets on the West Coast. The area’s affordable real estate, renewable power sources, proximity to trans-Pacific subsea cables and local tax incentives have led to an emerging data centre hub. Recent reports indicate the Portland market has nearly 100MW of commissioned power with land to add more.
Other sources state nearly 200 MW of additional capacity have been pre-leased at several major data centre projects currently in development. All of this activity is increasing demand for data centre connectivity throughout Hillsboro and Greater Portland and will require more dark fibre services to empower the area’s growing IT networks.
