EXA Infrastructure operates a long-haul fiber network connecting Europe and North America, including subsea cables and data centers it owns. It is a wholesale infrastructure provider, meaning it sells the underlying network, dark fiber, wavelengths, Ethernet and internet transit, rather than services aimed at an end office. Its footprint is its defining fact: it states a network of about 103,000 route kilometers of fiber reaching 300 cities, with dense metropolitan coverage joined by inter-city routes and its own transatlantic subsea cables. The company is carrier-neutral, so it is one of the networks other carriers and large customers build on. EXA was formed in 2021 when the European, subsea and North American network and data center assets of GTT Communications were carved out and acquired by an infrastructure investor. For a buyer, EXA is backbone-grade capacity between and within Europe and North America.
Best for
- Carriers, content providers and large enterprises that need high-capacity fiber or wavelengths between European and North American cities.
- Organizations that need transatlantic capacity on diverse, dedicated subsea routes for resilience.
- Companies that want dark fiber or a private wavelength they control, rather than shared internet service.
- Research, education and financial networks that move very large volumes of data between fixed locations.
A small business buying ordinary office internet is not the target. EXA sells wholesale and enterprise backbone infrastructure, usually at scale and between fixed points.
What they offer
Business Connectivity. Dark fiber for customers who want to run their own optical equipment, wavelengths that deliver dedicated high-capacity circuits between cities, Ethernet for point-to-point and multipoint private links, and internet transit. These run across EXA's long-haul European and transatlantic network, including its own subsea cable systems, with route diversity for resilience.
Cloud and IaaS. Data center and colocation space at points along the network, plus a European sovereign cloud offering for organizations that must keep data under EU jurisdiction.

Good to know
- EXA is a backbone and infrastructure operator, so an enterprise usually reaches it between fixed sites or through a local access provider for the last mile. Confirm how your locations would connect.
- The company is the former infrastructure arm of GTT Communications, rebranded after a 2021 carve-out, so a buyer may recognize the network under that history.
- Its network scale figures are the company's own. Confirm capacity and routes for the specific city pairs you need.
- Figures here are the company's own material.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
- 01
Build your quote list
Add services and companies as you shop. No form stands between you and the shelf.
- 02
We bring back real options
A person shops the bench against your addresses, then walks you through what fits and what does not.
- 03
We handle the order and install
Paperwork, site survey, install dates, cutover night. You get one thread, not five vendors.
- 04
We stay on your account
Same team for moves, adds, tickets and the next renewal. That is the part everyone else drops.
