CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2013) -  Global Capacity, the leading network connectivity company, today announces the expansion of its One Marketplace platform with a new Point of Presence (PoP) in the 2500 Allegheny Center Mall in Pittsburgh, PA. Allegheny Center Mall is the primary carrier hotel in Pittsburgh, the 22nd largest market in the U.S. and a gateway to the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. One Marketplace provides bi-directional interconnections and enhances market-competitive opportunities for buyers and sellers. The marketplace enables both groups to meet increased supply and demand while expanding the breadth and reach of their network capabilities.
