STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arelion today announced it has launched a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at RACK59‘s Oklahoma City data center, providing enterprise and wholesale customers with fully diverse, Tier-1 access to Arelion’s North American AI superhighway. This network expansion complements increasing regional fiber investments, enabling enterprises and carriers to expand high-speed connectivity more efficiently. The PoP provides customers with reliable access to Arelion’s full ecosystem of AI, content, cloud, gaming and streaming applications, accelerating economic development in the region.
Arelion’s network expansion improves performance and reliability for enterprise AI workloads and regional broadband users alike, meeting growing demand for high-capacity, low-latency services in an emerging edge market. The PoP enables a new secure resilient connectivity choice to data center hubs in surrounding regions and regional education networks. Arelion’s network expansion provides customers with access to its global fiber backbone and connectivity solutions, including Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) with predictable service-level agreements (SLAs), IP Transit, Cloud Connect for multi-cloud performance, scalable Waves, Ethernet, DDoS Mitigation and more.
Arelion’s investment provides enterprise customers an additional option for Tier-1 connectivity with enhanced security features and DDOS mitigation in the local ecosystem, supporting Oklahoma’s growing cloud and AI sectors. Oklahoma City has seen rising technological growth due to its strong power availability and skilled workforce. The city’s capital investment exceeded $13.7 million in 2025, bolstered by Google’s recently announced $9 billion data center investment to boost cloud and AI growth in the region.
RACK59 operates one of Oklahoma’s premier colocation data centers, providing customers with reliable connectivity services through best-in-class design, operations and efficiency. The mission-critical facility offers seven layers of security, robust redundant power, flexible-use space and exceptional fiber connectivity to support today’s data-driven enterprises. RACK59’s data center campus features 315 megawatts of power infrastructure, making it well-suited for supporting energy-intensive AI and cloud computing operations, providing an ideal environment for Arelion’s high-capacity network services.
