Key Acquisitions

New Continuum Data Centers Acquisition (2019)

SBA Edge, formerly known as New Continuum Data Centers, is a provider of edge data center and colocation solutions. SBA Communications acquired New Continuum Data Centers in July 2019, purchasing the Chicago-based company with its flagship 80,000 square foot data center located in west Chicago and a fiber loop. The acquisition was made as SBA considers entering the data center industry, with CEO Jeffrey Stoops noting they bought it "for a fraction of the replacement cost" to use as an R&D facility.

Matrix Acquisition (Brazil)

Matrix is now part of SBA Edge, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBA Communications Corporation. Matrix has more than 500 active customers and is considered one of the most connected datacenters in São Paulo, with access to more than 200 telecommunications companies.
