Missing Link Communications: Building Diverse, High-Capacity Fiber Connectivity in Vancouver

A strategic partnership delivering secure, underground dark fiber connectivity across the Cologix ecosystem

Missing Link Communications partnered with Cologix to expand high-capacity dark fiber connectivity across Vancouver, supporting accelerating enterprise, carrier and AI-driven infrastructure demands.

Challenge

As demand for AI-driven and mission-critical connectivity increases, Missing Link Communications identified a growing need for diverse, low-latency connectivity beyond Vancouver's traditional carrier hotel environment. Enterprises, carriers and cloud providers require scalable, high-performance connectivity between strategic data center locations. To extend the reach of its premium dark fiber infrastructure, Missing Link sought a carrier-neutral data center partner with strategically located facilities, dense interconnection ecosystems and operational standards aligned to its focus on performance, scalability and reliability.

Solution

Missing Link Communications expanded its premium dark fiber infrastructure across all five Cologix Vancouver data centers, creating diverse, high-capacity connectivity between strategic interconnection hubs throughout the region. Combined with Cologix's carrier-neutral, interconnection-rich ecosystem, the deployment delivered secure, low-latency connectivity optimized for scalability and resiliency. Missing Link's purpose-built underground fiber routes feature shorter physical paths, reduced splice counts and higher fiber density than competing providers, helping customers improve network performance while supporting growing bandwidth demands. Together, Missing Link and Cologix created a scalable, high-performance connectivity environment supporting enterprises, carriers, cloud providers and evolving mission-critical infrastructure requirements.
