GCS Partner Telx Adds Another Company to Its Ethernet Exchange

By Carrie Schmelkin, TMCnet Web Editor

Global Convergence (News - Alert) Solutions’ (GCS) partner Telx has been spotlighted in the news recently and the company is showing no signs of slowing down.


Recently, Telx, a leading interconnection and data center provider in 15 strategic North American markets, announced that USCarrier Telecom, LLC has joined the award-winning Telx Ethernet Exchange to expand the reach of its own Ethernet service delivery footprint in the Southeastern U.S.

“USCarrier selected the Telx Ethernet Exchange to leverage its one-to-many connectivity to better serve our customers in the Southeast,” said Jack Roberts, vice president of sales for USCarrier. “Becoming a member of this fast-growing community enables us to seamlessly interconnect to all carriers within Telx’s data center in Atlanta, while other Telx Ethernet Exchange members now have additional options with direct access to our Ethernet exchange from this key location.”

USCarrier Telecom, a provider of high-capacity, high-speed telecommunications bandwidth, offers wholesale services including optical transport, metro Atlanta access, long-distance, Ethernet and Internet access, connecting more than 40 cities in throughout the Southeast. The company is a “carrier’s carrier,” serving wireless and wire line carriers, ISP’s and cable companies.

As the newest member of the Telx Ethernet Exchange, located in Telx’s Atlanta data center, USCarrier will now be able to increase its reach to include previously underserved regions of Georgia, opening new business opportunities with other wholesale buyers and sellers of Ethernet, as well as large and medium enterprises.

The Telx Ethernet Exchange is a vital part of the Telx Interconnection Center, a family of services that creates a community of Ethernet-enabled networks, providing simple, easy access to advanced IP products and network technologies, according to company officials. The Telx Ethernet Exchange also makes available the Telx Connect Portal, an advanced e-commerce tool connecting publishers, subscribers, providers and consumers with buyers and sellers of advanced network and application based services. 

“The Telx Ethernet Exchange is a fast, cost-effective way for wholesale Ethernet providers like USCarrier to expand their service delivery model,” said Glenn Calafati, vice president and general manager of Interconnection Services at Telx. “Not only does this partnership make it easier for carrier customers to connect to USCarrier’s Ethernet platform in our Atlanta data center, but it gives our Global Marketplace of customers even more last-mile connectivity choices. We look forward to helping USCarrier continue to expand its market reach through the benefits of the Ethernet Exchange.”

Telx is a partner of GCS (News - Alert), a proprietary rating and routing Next Gen Network Solutions company.

Recently, TMCnet sat down with Chris Birdsall (News - Alert), GCS’s executive vice president of Worldwide Sales, to find out what brought him to GCS and what people can expect from the company for the rest of 2011.
