Company

The Network Hub For Ottawa and Atlantic Canada-United States-Europe

Fibre Centre is a network-neutral data centre and meet-me-room located in Ottawa, Ontario and 770 St. George Boulevard in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

The business was created to provide an important and strategic access point to the numerous fibre-based submarine and terrestrial carrier networks that pass through Ottawa and Moncton.

Prior to the development of Fibre Centre there was no physical place to directly access all the networks in the region, thus limiting the reach and capabilities of the networks as well as the businesses and people that operate and live within Ottawa Region and Atlantic Canada. Through Fibre Centre every type of network, including; dark fibre, lit fibre, IP Transit as well as wireless, and every type of network operator including; carriers, enterprise, research & education as well as government, can all take advantage of high capacity, quality and reliable network services all at the most cost-effective rates possible.

"Fibre Centre is providing the kind of strategic infrastructure New Brunswick needs to create jobs and become a smart province. Innovation and investments like this will help improve our fiscal situation and create the conditions for economic growth and job creation."

- Brian Gallant, Premier of New Brunswick
