The new ultra-low latency submarine cable, spanning 4,600km, will link Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Slough, England, and Cork, Ireland, connecting key centers of trade and commerce in Europe and North America. The cable is expected to begin service in September 2015. “Our customers are now just weeks away from having access to the most advanced submarine cable system on the market,” stated Omar Altaji, CCO of Hibernia Networks. “Financial firms, web-centric companies, media players and traditional telecom service providers alike will benefit from the speed, diversity and scalability that Hibernia Express brings to the transatlantic corridor.” During the system’s construction, TE SubCom deployed multiple cable ships to lay the cable and amplifiers on the seabed. The ultra-low latency cable will offer speeds up to 100Gbps transmission capacity to meet the increasing demand for secure, high-speed connectivity.

Cork milestone for Hibernia Express Hibernia Networks has announced that Hibernia Express, the first transatlantic cable to be deployed

in 12 years, has come ashore in Cork, Ireland. This is another milestone for the project.
