Cork
milestone
for Hibernia
Express
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.
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.
