A meet-me room is a dedicated, highly secure space inside a colocation facility or carrier hotel. It contains racks of patch panels where internet service providers, cloud hosts, and enterprise networks run fiber or copper cross-connects to link their equipment directly. This physical proximity eliminates local loop charges and drastically reduces network latency.
Run the fiber cross-connect from our cage down to the meet-me room and plug it into the carrier's demarcation point.
