CarrierHotels News Staff

August 9, 2000 -- Colocation provider LayerOne, Inc. today announced the expansion of its NEXUS colocation network with a 10,000-square-foot lease in one of Houston's premier carrier hotels.
The site at 1001 Texas is expected to be operational by year-end, and will provide telecommunication carriers a platform to exchange both short- and long-haul traffic, plus provide on-net colocation space for their end customers.
LayerOne currently has NEXUS facilities operational in Chicago and Miami, eight under construction, and, with the addition of Houston, two leased facilities.
"Expanding our NEXUS network throughout the nation's top telco hotels will level the playing field for communication service providers,'' said LayerOne chief executive Alexander Muse. "Any carrier, regardless of size, can now quickly establish a point of presence in a key market like Houston by using our NEXUS facility. And they can use our neutral space to their best advantage, leveraging our services to exchange traffic or provide a complete colocation solution for their end customers.''
LayerOne, Inc. is a privately held company building a global network of carrier-grade neutral colocation facilities. The Dallas-based firm says it plans to maintain an aggressive build out over the next three years.
