The fastest internet in the world runs through the Richmond Region.

Greater Richmond offers one of the best location values for data centers in the mid-Atlantic with pre-certified, secure sites offering reliable fiber and redundant power. This is why companies such as Meta, QTS and Pixel Factory are choosing to consistently reinvest in the region.

Major high-speed fiber cables including the Dunant, MAREA, BRUSA and SAEx all flow through Greater Richmond, making it an emerging interconnection hub delivering the lowest latency connectivity and the highest capacity from new subsea cables.
