About Plattsburgh Data Center
Located at 24 Margaret Street (and listed also at 401 W Bay Plaza) in Plattsburgh, New York 12901, Westelcom Networks’ Plattsburgh Data Center serves as an integral node within its carrier-network footprint across northern New York State. Westelcom Networks has built a regional fibre network spanning the 315/680 and 518/838 area codes and connects its data center locations through redundant fibre rings to major cloud and internet access points in Montreal and Syracuse.
As a carrier-neutral data-center facility, the Plattsburgh site is positioned to support colocation, network interconnects, cloud access and mission-critical infrastructure for enterprise, healthcare and telecommunications clients in the “North Country” region.
