The middle mile poses ongoing challenges for rural broadband service providers, with great distances complicating fast and low-latency connections. Internet exchange points (IXPs) have traditionally benefitted urban companies, but this trend may shift as data center owners explore rural options to enhance connectivity, particularly fueled by growing AI needs. The influence of AI on network requirements is pushing for better interconnection solutions in underserved areas, indicating a necessary evolution in infrastructure to support emerging technologies and user demands.
In order to reduce the latency for AI, this type of equipment for networks dedicated to facilitating this interconnection is essential, and it's being required.
It's actually requested now. I'm seeing a lot of it from AI GPU [graphics processing unit] cloud aggregators that have specific customers with specific latency tolerances.
