The Expansion Complements Gold Data's Deployments in McAllen and Laredo and Reinforces MDC El Paso's Role as a Key Interconnection Hub on the U.S.-Mexico Border
EL PASO, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / MDC Data Centers, the leading carrier-neutral colocation provider on the U.S.-Mexico border, and Gold Data, a low-latency network operator serving the Americas and the Caribbean, today announced the activation of a new Point of Presence (PoP) at MDC's El Paso facility.
The expansion builds on Gold Data's existing deployments with MDC in McAllen and Laredo, giving customers greater route diversity, lower latency, and improved availability between Mexico and key U.S. destinations. MDC El Paso is directly connected to Tier-1 networks, Mexico's backbone providers, and leading content platforms, and is home to MEX-IX, the internet exchange point that makes the site peering-ready for networks on both sides of the border.
"El Paso strengthens our ability to serve growing demand for high-performance, cross-border transport," said Pedro Carrillo, Chief Technology Officer at Gold Data. "It's a key part of our strategy to deliver more resilient international routes, and MDC's neutral, ecosystem-rich facility gives us the flexibility to scale quickly and reliably."
Located at the geographic midpoint of the U.S.-Mexico border, El Paso is a strategic interconnection point for reaching Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Mexico's northern cities. Together with Ciudad Juárez, it forms a binational metro area of more than 2.4 million people - an increasingly important hub for digital infrastructure, content, and enterprise traffic.
"Gold Data's expansion into MDC El Paso reflects the region's evolution as a key hub for binational connectivity," said Joel Pacheco, Chief Revenue Officer at MDC Data Centers. "As more carriers, platforms, and content providers converge in this location, we're building the ecosystem our customers need for next-generation interconnection. El Paso is ready for what's next."
This expansion reinforces the value of MDC's BorderConnect Platform, which combines carrier-neutral colocation, diverse International Fiber Crossings, and a growing ecosystem of cross-border networks. With the addition of Gold Data at MDC El Paso, the platform continues to expand its reach - delivering low-latency, multi-path connectivity between Mexico and the United States, and supporting the region's accelerating digital transformation.
