Quickline and Zayo’s recent investment into space at Proximity’s edge colocation facilities highlights the evolving role of data centres in hybrid fibre rollouts.

“Alternate service providers increasingly require edge colocation capacity to better serve their local customers with low latency solutions by bringing data much closer to them,” said John Hall, MD – Colocation, Proximity Data Centers.

Quickline is connecting hard-to-reach areas by building a new hybrid infrastructure using a combination of fibre and fixed wireless access networks, aiming to reach 500,000 premises. 

Mark Seward, Director of Fixed Wireless Operations for Quickline said, “As we grow and expand, so does our need for fast, secure data. By working with Proximity we are able to avoid data congestion, reduce latency and delays whilst keeping 100% integrity of the data.”
