A new network route from Dublin to London is now fully operational, allowing enterprises to deliver information at the fastest possible speed between Ireland and mainland Europe via London with improved resilience and lower costs, said Colt.
The company said that its new link is part of its "unrivalled platform for high bandwidth data services and backbone solutions" will benefit Ireland’s financial services and ICT sectors.
Users will benefit from connectivity to Colt’s wider European network, with a latency of 4.267ms between Colt nodes in London and Dublin and improved resilience for connectivity up to 10Gbps. The new route is part of the company’s ongoing investment in its network infrastructure in Ireland and will be followed by an extension from Dublin to Cork toward the end of the year.
The route incorporates the new Sea Fibre Networks cable, CeltixConnect (the shortest, most diverse sub-sea link between Ireland and the UK) and has an optical layer based on the Infinera DTN platform for seamless integration into Colt’s existing 100Gbps ready long distance network.
The company said that at a time when Ireland’s ICT sector continues to power ahead and half the world’s top banks have a presence in Dublin, is in prime position to respond to increasing local demand for network capacity.
"Ireland is an exciting place for Colt," said Gary Keogh, director, Colt Ireland, "because of the enormous success of its ICT sector which continues to grow, particularly in the Dublin area. Our continued investment here will ensure Ireland remains right at the heart of Europe’s network infrastructure and the location of choice for large enterprises across a number of sectors."
