Mexico's digital infrastructure conversation is conducted in megawatts. But only 49% of the country's top thousand websites can be reached from inside it, against an Americas average of 69%. The constraint is not capacity or…
Capacity arrives with the cable. An interconnection point does not. Marseille took roughly six years to become one, Fortaleza closer to twenty, and neither got there by landing cables. As modern systems split fiber pair…
Mexico's telecom sector is in a once-a-decade reset: Telefónica is exiting, the IFT has been dissolved, and hyperscalers are committing billions. With mobile and household penetration already past 86% and 78%, the next competitive battle…
Gamers in northern Mexico often see about 40 milliseconds of latency to Dallas game servers, well above the 10 to 15 milliseconds that fiber optics physically allow. The gap comes from legacy routing that sends…
The 2026 World Cup proves what Brazil, Europe, and Japan already learned: live streaming demands local interconnection. MEX-IX applies that lesson at the US-Mexico border.
The data center backlash treats every facility as the same thing. It isn't. A look at why interconnection hubs, measured in connections rather than acres, don't belong in the same conversation as hyperscale AI campuses.
At ITW 2026, MDC Data Centers CEO Juan Salazar sat down with datacenterHawk to discuss cross-border interconnection, Latin America's infrastructure gap, and MDC's expansion into submarine cable infrastructure with the Manta consortium — landing in…
The bottleneck for AI inference isn't the model or the hardware. It's whether the facilities built to run it are actually ready. A look at why edge infrastructure is becoming the strategic chokepoint of the…
Every packet traveling between the US and Mexico crosses a physical border. Understanding International Fiber Crossings is no longer just a concern for network engineers — it is a strategic decision that impacts network performance,…
Brownsville, Texas has spent years in the background of the US-Mexico connectivity conversation. That's changing. MDC Data Centers is now constructing a new International Fiber Crossing at the southernmost point of Texas — an infrastructure…
