A new carrier-neutral dark fiber route across the Hudson is here, and it's changing how networks cross the river. For decades, the Hudson River has been both a physical and digital barrier, particularly for organizations demanding high-speed, low-latency, and redundant connectivity between New Jersey and Manhattan. Now UrbIN Networks is rewriting the playbook with the first privately owned, carrier-neutral installation across the Hudson River in two decades. ## Why the Hudson River crossing matters With data volumes growing and demand from hyperscalers, trading firms, and data center operators surging, network diversity across the Hudson isn't a luxury. It's mission critical. Yet the limited number of viable river crossings has created bottlenecks, over-utilization, and vulnerability to outages. UrbIN Networks' route addresses this with: - A **buried, secured route** to 165 Halsey Street - A **new Hudson River crossing** through the Sandy-hardened PATH tunnel, the southernmost Hudson River crossing into Manhattan - **Two separate building entrances** into 60 Hudson Street, one of the most connected buildings in the world, plus our own riser in the building - **88,883 ns one-way optical fiber latency, 165 Halsey Street to 60 Hudson Street** ## The UrbIN Networks advantage - **Carrier-neutral, customer-controlled:** Dark fiber by IRU or term lease, lit with your own equipment. No middlemen and no carrier lock-in. Resale is allowed. - **A route inside the PATH tunnel:** Our crossing runs inside the Sandy-hardened PATH tunnel, a controlled corridor that is hard to replicate. - **Resilience engineered from the ground up:** From two separate building entrances to 16-ton flood gates, the build is Sandy-hardened, future-ready, and security-first. - **Clean optical path:** There are no splice points through the river crossing. - **Protection by design:** We design new networks as rings, and we sell physical protection as a second, separately routed path. Before you sign, we name what your route shares and any segments we haven't surveyed. ## Who benefits most? - **Financial institutions:** Low latency and route diversity support trading and disaster recovery. - **Hyperscalers and cloud providers:** A new, high-capacity path into 60 Hudson Street and beyond. - **Carriers and resellers:** Wholesale-ready dark fiber, with resale allowed and our own riser in 60 Hudson. - **Enterprises and data centers:** Private, secure dark fiber tailored to mission-critical use cases. ## Building for the future UrbIN Networks isn't just delivering fiber. It's delivering freedom, flexibility, and future-proof infrastructure across one of the most strategically significant corridors on the U.S. fiber map. The Hudson River no longer has to be a bottleneck. It can be a bridge to better connectivity.
