Frequently Asked Questions

What connectivity options are available at 165 Halsey Street?

165 Halsey Street provides a carrier-neutral environment with direct access to more than 60 U.S. and global networks. Customers can use fiber and copper cross connects, centralized Meet Me Point connectivity, and other direct interconnection opportunities to build network architectures around their specific requirements.

What types of cross connects are available at 165 Halsey Street?

165 Halsey Street supports single-mode fiber, copper, and multimode fiber cross connects. Single-mode fiber cross connects are routed through the centralized cross connect location, or Meet Me Point, while copper and multimode fiber connections can be installed point to point.

How do fiber cross connects support an interconnection strategy?

Fiber cross connects create direct physical connections between customers and networks within the same facility. These dedicated connections can provide efficient, low-latency paths for exchanging traffic and help organizations avoid unnecessary network hops outside the building.

Does 165 Halsey Street charge monthly recurring cross connect fees?

No. One of 165 Halsey Street’s key connectivity differentiators is that it does not charge monthly recurring cross connect fees between customers. Installation and other non-recurring charges may apply depending on the connection requested.

What are Internet Exchange options?

Internet Exchange options are different ways organizations can exchange network traffic with other networks and service providers. Depending on network requirements, organizations may use approaches such as peering, direct interconnection, cross connects, and internet transit to improve how traffic moves between networks.

How does internet peering differ from internet transit?

Internet transit provides connectivity to the broader internet through an upstream network provider. Internet peering allows networks to exchange traffic directly for specific traffic flows. Peering can create shorter network paths, reduce latency, and give organizations greater control over how traffic moves between networks.

What is a Meet Me Point?

A Meet Me Point is a centralized interconnection location where customers can establish connections with other network participants. At 165 Halsey Street, single-mode fiber cross connects are routed through the building’s centralized Meet Me Point, helping customers efficiently access the facility’s extensive connectivity ecosystem.
