Midweek Roundup: Arelion, Zayo, Verizon

November 11th, 2026 by · Leave a Comment

Four network infrastructure projects from Europe and the Americas to note:

Arelion has boosted its North American infrastructure with five new PoPs. Specifically they have added new nodes in Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Reno, and Fargo. The expansion targets emerging GPU infrastructure, major hyperscale and enterprise markets, and connectivity between North America and the Caribbean and Latin America.

Zayo has added some more infrastructure pointing southward. They have activated capacity on the Monet subsea cable system, which connects the coast of Florida with Fortaleza and São Paulo. They already had capacity on GlobeNet and Seabras-1, along with a metro fiber ring in São Paulo. The expansion supports demand from AI and cloud providers as well as Zayo’s financial network ecosystem.

And Verizon Business has completed a significant private 5G project over in England. The infrastructure spans multiple ports, logistics centers, and manufacturing facilities across the Thames Freeport district. The Thames Freeport covers an area east of London and has tax incentives from the UK government. Tenants using Verizon’s private 5G include DP World London Gateway, Ford Dagenham, and the Port of Tilbury.
