NexGen Networks, the premier provider of fiber optic-based network solutions to the world’s top financial services firms and global enterprises, has announced a strategically located new point of presence in St. Louis. The new location will expand NexGen’s access to critical Midwestern fiber routes, improving the speed and flexibility of its regional infrastructure.

“As the historical gateway to the West, St. Louis has long symbolized expansion, and it looks set to maintain that geographical importance in the information age,” says Jeffrey Barth, NexGen Networks. “It is a crucial stopover between two of our most important major markets in Dallas and Chicago, and the city is an important commercial center in its own right. Our St. Louis build creates a tremendously valuable strategic presence.”

St. Louis lies at the intersection of rail lines that run North to Chicago, South to Dallas, and West as far as Los Angeles and San Francisco. These routes took years to clear and establish, and they successfully transported people and goods for decades. In the information age, these relatively direct routes are providing excellent paths for data through fiber-optic cables along the old railroad tracks.

NexGen’s direct access to these routes provides clients with enhanced speed and flexibility by allowing them to choose specific routes. This specificity is highly valuable for various applications such as Cloud Direct Connect services because it allows for a consistent network experience. The St. Louis expansion is another example of NexGen’s continual expansions and enhancements to maintain the highest level of service for its clients, even as needs and technology evolve.
