Pittock Block is the crown jewel of Portland’s downtown area.  It is recognized as an important regional IXP hub, as well as a direct subsea cable connection to the Asia Pacific market.  This historic landmark has evolved over the years, transforming from an electric substation distribution location to a telecom hub to one of the densest connectivity hubs on the west coast today.  With 16 fiber optic carriers, 179 other service providers,and seven subsea cables connecting the building’s global grade Internet Exchange with low average latency across major U.S. markets, it is a key hub for companies seeking global access.
