SAN FRANCISCO - 6x7 Networks, the world’s only fully encrypted Global Telecommunications Carrier, announced today a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at One Wilshire, located at 624 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

Ms. Cannon elaborates “Telecom is bigger than any single country including the United States, this is the main hub for the entire Pacific Rim.”
6x7’s encryption technology is unique, and patent-pending “Since our encryption is done entirely in the hardware, it happens at wire-rate, the same rate of the interface.” Ms. Cannon continues, “So you don’t pay a performance penalty and your data is completely secure in transit.“
“We offer connectivity from here to 6 continents, and over 190 Countries,” Ms. Cannon says. “You cannot replace that kind of connectivity, and you cannot get it anywhere else.”

About One Wilshire
The One Wilshire building is a key hub for data traffic from Asia, with as much as a third of all trans-Pacific traffic passing through the building, according to estimates. It also serves as a key data storage and interconnection center for Los Angeles businesses, including the media and entertainment industry.
One Wilshire was built in 1967 and served office tenants for many years before beginning a shift to telecom and data center tenants in the early 1990s. The 30-story building has a prime location next to a SBC/PacificBell central switching facility, and benefits from a rooftop with clear lines of sight that are ideal for microwave towers.
Significantly, it stands at the intersection of fiber routes that run down Wilshire Boulevard and Sixth Street, and is tied into major trans-Pacific undersea fiber cables that land about 20 miles away.
