Arelion, a global Internet carrier, has announced the opening of a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Guadalajara, Mexico. The new PoP will provide wholesale and enterprise customers in Guadalajara’s electronics and technology sectors with direct access to Arelion’s reliable, high-performance global network and local ecosystem of cloud, content, and security services. This move supports the growing trend of nearshoring investment in Guadalajara, which leads Mexico in demand for nearshoring, particularly in the electronics and cybernetics industries. Arelion’s new PoP positions it as a connectivity partner for multinational enterprises in Guadalajara’s thriving electronics, manufacturing, and IT sectors.
The partnership between Arelion and global edge data center provider HostDime will strengthen Guadalajara’s network ecosystem by providing high-capacity access to cloud, content, and connectivity services for companies utilizing HostDime’s GDL data center. The facility is also home to the only peering exchange in the region, the Guadalajara Internet Exchange Point (GDL-IXP). The addition of Arelion’s ninth PoP in Mexico will enhance customers’ access to Arelion’s #1 ranked Internet backbone and its portfolio of connectivity services, including IP Transit, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Cloud Connect, and DDoS Mitigation services.
Arelion aims to expand its presence in Mexico to provide resilient, low-latency connectivity to wholesale and enterprise customers. The new PoP in Guadalajara will serve as an aggregation point for internet service providers seeking access to Mexico’s largest connectivity markets and strengthen the region’s ecosystem through tier-1 connectivity services. HostDime’s carrier-neutral GDL data center is an ideal facility for global businesses needing to reach Mexican markets, and the partnership with Arelion and GDL-IXP will contribute to the improvement of Guadalajara’s network ecosystem, benefiting the entire community of users and providers.
