Equinix on Wednesday announced that it’s opening of a new data center in Dallas, Texas to support its 5G testing efforts. The company said Dallas, a major communications hub for the southern US, has a highly dense ecosystem of carriers, clouds and enterprise infrastructure, making it an ideal location for a 5G sandbox.
Equinix said its 5G operating environment — formally named the Equinix 5G and Edge Proof of Concept Center — will provide a comparison of 5G architectures to better understand network build-out costs and network capacity, and how that relates to customer experience.
