Today, the company announced that it has established a new Point of Presence (PoP) at Lincoln Data Centers. The new PoP is located at 206 South 13th Street, Lincoln NE.

Lincoln Data Centers provides a carrier-neutral interconnection and colocation environment purpose-built for organizations with expanding connectivity requirements. The facility combines diverse fiber infrastructure, access to regional and long-haul carriers, low-friction interconnection through meet-me-room capabilities, and flexible deployment options that support scalable growth. Positioned in the geographic center of the United States, Lincoln Data Centers serves as an efficient regional hub for enterprises, cloud platforms, content providers, and network operators seeking resilient, low-latency connectivity across the Midwest and beyond.

The central United States continues to play an increasingly important role in digital infrastructure development due to its geographic advantages, expanding fiber ecosystems, growing enterprise technology adoption, and proximity to major population and business centers. Nebraska’s favorable business environment and central location make Lincoln an attractive market for organizations seeking resilient, low-latency connectivity and diversified network routes.

The new PoP improves fault tolerance, load balancing, and congestion management for next-generation IP connectivity services throughout the region. Customers of Lincoln Data Centers can now access Hurricane Electric’s extensive IPv4 and IPv6 backbone through 100GE (100 Gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 Gigabit Ethernet), and GigE (1 Gigabit Ethernet) ports.

“We are pleased to expand Hurricane Electric’s presence in the Midwest with this new Point of Presence at Lincoln Data Centers,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “Lincoln’s central location, strong business climate, and growing digital infrastructure ecosystem make it an ideal site to support customers requiring reliable, high-capacity Internet connectivity across the region.”

With this deployment, organizations in and around Lincoln can exchange IP traffic directly with Hurricane Electric’s vast global network, which supports more than 40,000 BGP sessions with over 10,500 networks across more than 320 major exchange points worldwide.

The addition of this PoP reflects Hurricane Electric’s ongoing investment in expanding connectivity throughout North America and its commitment to delivering low-latency, highly resilient Internet connectivity for enterprises, cloud providers, research institutions, content platforms, and service providers.
