Hibernia Networks, a provider of global telecommunications services, has inked a deal with Zayo Group, a global provider of bandwidth infrastructure services, to provide a 100G augmentation, via Hibernia Express, to Zayo’s transatlantic network.
The extension would provide Zayo customers with a “fast, secured and diverse” transatlantic route, while adding to Zayo’s existing network, which spans more than 82,000 route miles across the U.S. and Europe.
Hibernia Express, the newest, “lowest latency” transatlantic cable, would offer unmatched services to customers requiring connectivity due to its “security, diversity and increased capacity.” The 4,600 km cable will provide 100Gbps transmission capacity using TE SubCom’s C100 SLTE platform.
There is an immense amount of growth in the transatlantic space, and customers’ demands for bandwidth are increasing,” said David Howson, president of Zayo International. “Teaming with Hibernia Networks for its 100G service demonstrates the proactive approach we are taking in maintaining a network that is dedicated, secure and reliable for our customers. Through the relationship with Hibernia Networks, Zayo is able to extend its transatlantic capabilities and fuel customers with end-to-end solutions that meet their high bandwidth demands.”
Hibernia Networks, a subsidiary of Columbia Ventures Corporation, owns and operates a global network connecting North America, Europe and Asia. Hibernia has over 220 network Points of Presence (PoPs) in 89 markets and 25 countries. The company provides dedicated Ethernet, DTM, Wavelengths and carrier-grade IP Transit services.
“We are pleased that Zayo has selected Hibernia Express for the additional capacity required to meet growing customer demand across the Atlantic,” said Omar Altaji, CCO of Hibernia Networks. “This further strengthens the mutually beneficial partnership between Zayo and Hibernia Networks, and we look forward to continuing the relationship to build a better connected network together.”
