Windstream Wholesale, a leader in advanced network solutions, proudly announces a strategic partnership with Cirion Technologies, providing domestic wavelength services from the Myrtle Beach, S.C., Cable Landing Station (CLS) to Cirion’s core U.S. network nodes. This partnership underscores the robust demand for Windstream's Intelligent Converged Optical Network (ICON), which offers state-of-the-art connectivity and marks a significant advancement in global network capabilities.

Cirion Technologies provides high-performance and reliable connectivity solutions to more than 5,500 customers, including both Latin American-based and multinational companies. Cirion’s comprehensive suite of services includes co-location, cloud infrastructure, and both terrestrial and subsea fiber network services. This collaboration with Cirion Technologies is a vital component of Windstream Wholesale's Beach Route initiative, which focuses on delivering adaptable lit and dark fiber solutions via diverse connectivity to subsea cables along the East Coast. This strategic route allows international clients to leverage innovative U.S. gateway options, providing flexibility for global network connectivity.

Windstream Wholesale is poised to meet increasing demand for high-capacity lit connections to subsea cables, such as:

• Anjana: A 7,121 km fiber-optic cable linking Myrtle Beach to Santander, Spain.
• Firmina: A cable connecting Myrtle Beach with countries in South America.
• Nuvem: A connection from Myrtle Beach to Bermuda and Portugal.

As an anchor customer, Cirion Technologies is enhancing its network capabilities by securing connectivity from Myrtle Beach to its landing station in Hollywood, Fla. This alliance underscores the strong demand for Windstream's innovative connectivity solutions and highlights Cirion's commitment to better serve its broad customer base.

"This strategic partnership with Cirion Technologies illustrates our commitment to providing cutting-edge connectivity solutions that empower our customers with unparalleled options," said Joe Scattareggia, president of Windstream Wholesale.
