Zayo Puts High-Capacity Network Muscle Behind Mexico, U.S. Manufacturing Corridor
November 10, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Zayo, a leading global communications infrastructure provider, announced the launch of its first Zayo-owned Point of Presence (PoP) in Mexico, a major expansion of Zayo’s high-capacity North American network. Located in Monterrey, the new 400G PoP deepens Zayo’s reach across Mexico, the United States, and Canada, delivering the performance necessary for innovation and cross-border operations as AI, cloud, and advanced manufacturing surge across the continent.
Monterrey has become a strategic hub for near-shoring and manufacturing, with electronics, automotive, and aerospace enterprises rapidly scaling operations in the region. As these businesses adopt AI-driven automation, smart-factory systems, industrial IoT, and distributed cloud environments, they increasingly require high-capacity connectivity to support data-intensive workflows across sites and regions. By expanding 400G capabilities directly in Monterrey, Zayo brings critical capacity closer to where production and data are generated, delivering better performance and lower latency for edge-driven operations. And by tying into Zayo’s expansive North American network, enterprises can scale and operate seamlessly wherever their data and production demand.
“Monterrey is a prime example of where global manufacturing and digital innovation are converging,” said Joel Daly, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Zayo. “With this latest expansion in Mexico, we are giving customers a stronger, faster network foundation to support modern workloads, automation, and cross-border operations in one of North America’s fastest-growing manufacturing hubs. As supply chains and enterprise operations become even more distributed across North America, we are staying one step ahead with the future-ready infrastructure in place to support them.”
This announcement builds on Zayo’s continued investment in Mexico, including connections between key Mexico and U.S. locations and critical U.S./Mexico border-crossings. Zayo also plans to add more PoPs in strategic Mexico markets. Together, these investments advance Zayo’s strategy to deliver a seamless, high-capacity fabric connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico, ensuring customers have the high-performance network foundation to operate, innovate, and grow in an increasingly interconnected North American digital economy.

Nolan’s Notes: Is Mexico the Pulse of Electronics in the Americas?
11/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast year, I attended SMTA Guadalajara, where I saw the results of the Mexican investment in electronics manufacturing. The U.S. was still operating under the Biden administration, and while Mexican EMS companies had expanded capacity to support EV manufacturing, the demand dropped significantly. In my conversations at the show, the sentiment was one of patience. They knew the EV business would likely come back. However, they didn’t expect an overhaul of U.S. trade agreements and tariffs that would shift a more diversified portfolio in Mexico’s direction.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/31/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Last week, the IMPACT conference took place in Taipei, bringing together advanced packaging experts from around the globe to share their knowledge. We’ll be bringing you post-conference coverage over the next few weeks, so look for that in our newsletters, and in the Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest. Other news seemed to have the U.S. at the center of the global discussions. My picks start in Phoenix, where TSMC, NVIDIA, and Amkor are all scrambling to establish new capabilities. There’s nothing like a strong demand signal to cause build-out, and AI chips are doing exactly that.
