C3ntro Telecom, a leading global telecommunications and fiber infrastructure provider, has unveiled its most ambitious project to date: the Tikva Project, a 2,500-kilometer AI-ready fiber optic network connecting Phoenix, Arizona, and Querétaro, Mexico that started construction in March 2025. Slated for completion in Q4 2026, this cross-border infrastructure marks the first major long-haul fiber initiative between the two nations in over 25 years, promising to reshape data center connectivity across North America.
The Tikva network will link Phoenix, which is one of North America’s fastest-growing data center markets, with Querétaro, Mexico’s premier data center hub. This strategic corridor aims to facilitate seamless data exchange between two of the world’s most vital regions for AI and cloud workloads, addressing surging demand from hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises. Building on over 30 years of telecom expertise, C3ntro has deployed 3,000+ km of fiber across Mexico, including Querétaro’s data center ecosystem. The Tikva Project extends this success into the U.S., positioning Phoenix as a gateway for cross-border digital expansion.
