Chicago, IL, USA, March 25, 2014 – Global Capacity, the leading network connectivity company, today announces the opening of a new One Marketplace Point of Presence (PoP) in Minneapolis, MN at 511 11th Avenue South, Minnesota’s most connected building. Global Capacity’s Minneapolis PoP directly connects into the company’s 30 Gbps core, interconnected diverse national network ring, providing an additional access point to One Marketplace and fortifying connectivity to the platform throughout the Midwest.
This key aggregation point enables the delivery of diverse route options, competitive pricing and network services to One Marketplace customers.
