LOUISVILLE, Colo.– May 15, 2012 – Zayo Group announces it is enhancing its low latency service between Seattle and Chicago.  The improved performance on the route will give Financial, Content and Carrier customers a material latency reduction from what is currently available.
 
Zayo’s existing service between Seattle and Chicago provides industry-leading latency.  The enhanced service, which will be available in the third quarter of 2012, significantly improves latency. The distance of the route will be reduced by approximately 100 route miles. To further reduce latency, the system will be engineered as an express route, with add/drop points being limited to approximately 4 locations. Zayo anticipates reducing latency by 5 – 15% relative to currently available services. 
 
The Wavelength system being deployed will be a native 100G system, which is scalable to 4 terabytes. Zayo will continue to offer service on its existing system, which provides add/drop points in many markets between Chicago, IL and Seattle, WA.
