The court battle has ended over a controversial communications tower near the suburban Chicago data center that houses the world’s largest exchange.

CyrusOne Inc. last year sued the city of Aurora, Illinois, and a company called Scientel Solutions LLC to block Scientel from erecting the structure. The parties settled the dispute through mediation, according to a Friday update to the case’s docket in federal court in Chicago. There were no details of the settlement.
