Arelion Deploys Three New Routes in Texas to Strengthen North American Network Diversity

STOCKHOLM, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arelion today announced it has launched three new fully diverse mesh routes in Texas to form a new ring from Austin to Dallas, to Houston and back to Austin, with additional overbuild capacity between Austin, San Antonio and El Paso. These routes connect East-West traffic flows to additional sites in Texas while providing more diversity for traffic from Mexico to AI/ML data centers in the thriving DASH (Dallas-Austin-San Antonio-Houston) region. This network expansion allows Arelion's wholesale and enterprise customers to bypass traditional carrier hotels and connect directly to hyperscale campuses, enhancing availability and reducing latency for AI/ML and cloud interconnection.

North Texas is the United States' second-largest data center market by inventory behind Virginia, serving as a primary hub for the country's East-West and North-South traffic flows. The region experienced a 173.1 percent increase in dedicated data center power in the second half of 2023, partially due to Texas' comparatively lower power costs. Austin and San Antonio's data center markets are also growing exponentially due to mounting demand from hyperscale cloud and AI/ML providers, with their combined data center construction activity quadrupling to 463.5 megawatts since 2023. With this network expansion, Arelion currently has seven diverse routes out of the Dallas metro area and six diverse routes out of the Austin metro area.

"We're seeing significant demand for services at scale in Texas to support the data flows of growing AI/ML and cloud applications in the region," said Art Kazmierczak, Director of Strategic Sales & Network Development at Arelion. "This network expansion empowers enterprises with improved connectivity and reliable access to AI/ML resources in these booming markets. Our new routes will also provide additional diversity and capacity to Mexico, helping spur economic growth and technological innovation in one of our primary investment regions."

These routes provide Arelion's customers with enhanced access to its #1 ranked global Internet backbone, as well as its portfolio of reliable, fully diverse connectivity services, including scalable IP Transit, Wavelengths, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Cloud Connect, Global 40G Ethernet Virtual Circuit (VC) and DDoS Mitigation services for service providers, content providers and enterprises.
