The PoP allows GlobeNet to extend its layer 2 and layer 3 based services into the key Brazilian metro market and beyond.

The PoP in São Paulo's SP2 will deliver Ethernet and IP services, including GNIIX, the newest service addition to GlobeNet's robust portfolio of offerings. GlobeNet's GNIIX and IP Transit offerings out of the key city enhance customers' secure, low latency international connectivity options to the Americas and Europe.
