Hibernia Networks, a provider of global telecommunications services, has chosen TelecityGroup’s Northwest Business Park facility to host a new point of presence (PoP) on its global network. The agreement marks Hibernia’s fourth PoP in Dublin and third in TelecityGroup’s Dublin data centres.

The PoP will provide TelecityGroup’s customers with access to Hibernia’s Project Kelvin network, an extensive submarine and terrestrial cable deployment that directly connects Northern Ireland with North America and Europe. It will also provide access to the Project Express transatlantic cable system offering high capacity, diverse and low latency connectivity from September 2015.

Maurice Mortell, TelecityGroup vice president for developing markets and managing director for Ireland (pictured), explained: “With demand for telecommunications services continuing to grow, the ability to offer high quality, flexible and secure connectivity is more important than ever. The implementation of an additional Hibernia core PoP in Dublin underscores the unrivalled connectivity options that TelecityGroup provides for businesses located in Ireland.”

Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Networks, added: “Hibernia’s presence in TelecityGroup’s Northwest Business Park data centre further enhances our dense connectivity options in Dublin. The ever-increasing demand for high quality communication and applications is driving the need for advanced telecom infrastructure to host and transmit data, and TelecityGroup’s facility offers the premium power availability and unrivalled connectivity we need to deliver this.”
