Windstream-Telxius collaboration connects Boca Raton cable landing station

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Windstream Wholesale, a leading provider of advanced optical solutions, today announced that it has connected its core network to the Telxius cable landing station in Boca Raton, Florida. Telxius is a leading neutral telecommunications infrastructure operator with an extensive tower and submarine cable portfolio.

The Boca Raton cable landing station is the terminal station for the South America-1 (SAm-1) cable system owned by Telxius. Windstream Wholesale has existing connections to Telxius’ landing stations in Jacksonville, Florida, and in Virginia Beach, the landing point of the next-generation Dunant and Marea subsea cable systems.
