Internet Backbone

Originally, our mid-Atlantic location and available rail lines paved the way for the fiber-optic networks that established Greensboro as regional headquarters for major telecom companies, like BellSouth and AT&T, and worldwide customer service centers for American Express, Bank of America and Citi Cards. Today, Greensboro offers direct ties to the Tier 1 Internet backbone that provides universal connectivity and access to the world.
 
Greensboro businesses have access to powerful technology right in their own backyards in the form of:
  • Redundant power grids
  • Available capacity
  • Dominant array of data communications
  • Impressive array of Internet providers
  • Ability to keep vital information on the internet backbone that links the U.S. to Europe
This abundant technology and proximity to the Internet backbone allows Greensboro businesses to operate more cost-efficient networks. More importantly, as one of the few places in the country that has a high level of capacity, Greensboro is better suited for companies that distribute large amounts of data via the Internet.
