Great news for our telecom service provider Members that may serve international companies in the Southside Virginia region! Through our network facilities in Equinix-Ashburn, Virginia (www.equinix.com), MBC Members now have the ability to provide direct Ethernet transport connectivity between any facility/location in Southern Virginia and the major data centers and carrier hotels in Europe and Asia. MBC offers a minimum of 50Mbps of dedicated Ethernet Transport to Ashburn, VA, and MBC Members like Hibernia Atlantic, WVFiber, and Level3 can provide direct transport to major overseas carrier/data center locations.

This is an excellent opportunity for many of the international subsidiary companies who have facilities in Southside to obtain direct connectivity to their corporate headquarter facilities overseas. For example, a German company is able to have a direct 50Mbps Ethernet connection from their facility in Southside Virginia to their corporate network in Frankfurt, Germany for less than $5,000 per month! That is a 1-hop connection with no routers or other congestion points between their networks, and provides a unique competitive advantage for our region and our Members.
