A data center launch and two campus network projects:
Equinix has opened the doors on another data center in southeast Asia. SG6 is the data center giant’s sixth facility in the essential hub of Singapore, and takes advantage of the latest liquid cooling technology and taps into renewable energy resources. It offers some 1,550 cabinets and 8MW of IT capacity at launch, with 20MW envisioned at full buildout. The project cost $290M.
Boldyn Networks has been busy hooking up infrastructure at two US Army bases. Following a pilot project at Fort Riley, Kansa and Fort Wainwright, Alaska, the US Army is expanding its BaseNet residential Wi-Fi service reach to include all permanent party barracks at both facilities. Each soldier gets 1Gbps and support for up to 10 personal devices, with more than 7K such devices registered during the pilot consuiming some 700Tb of data.
And Verizon offered up a few details on a project supporting a small private school in suburban New Jersey. St John Vianney School in Colonia, which sits a stone’s throw from the always-busy Garden State Parkway, had its legacy telephone system die just before the start of school this year. With the school under a time crunch and with limited resources to support a hard-wired replacement project, Verizon instead deployed LTE cellular technology and its One Talk platform. Apparently LTE is still a thing, eh?
