Hibernia Atlantic acquired MediaXstream at the end of 2009 – now it has received a $13.4 Million investment from Constellation Growth Capital:

CONSTELLATION GROWTH CAPITAL INVESTS IN HIBERNIA ATLANTIC INVESTMENT FUELS ADDITIONAL GROWTH FOR HIBERNIA ATLANTIC AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND- January 5, 2010-  Hibernia Atlantic, the transAtlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, today announced that Constellation Growth Capital (Constellation), a growth equity investor in the convergence of media, communications and technology, invested $13.4 million in the company.  Columbia Ventures Corporation (CVC) owns the remaining shares of the company. 

The investment provides Hibernia with additional capital for growth opportunities, including allowing the company to increase its network Points of Presence (POPs) in North America and Europe. This investment follows Hibernia’s recent acquisition of MediaXstream, a leading provider of high quality transport and managed network services for the media production and broadcast industries.

Constellation is an investment fund founded by Clifford Friedman in 1998 that is now part of Highbridge Principal Strategies, a division of Highbridge Capital Management (HCM). HCM is a $21 billion global alternative asset management firm owned by JPMorgan Asset Management.  Under the terms of the transaction, Mr. Friedman will join Hibernia Atlantic’s Board of Directors.

“We are very pleased that Constellation has decided to make a strategic investment in Hibernia Atlantic,” said Ken Peterson, Chairman of Hibernia Atlantic and CEO of CVC. “Under Cliff’s leadership, Constellation has established a commitment to investing in the convergence of media, communications and technology, sharing common goals with CVC and Hibernia Atlantic. We look forward to working together with Cliff and his team to grow our business and further expand our network reach.”

“The combination of Hibernia with MediaXstream creates a growth company of scale to meet the global needs of both the media and financial services industries. It is one of the few companies which can truly meet the quality of service demands for these industries,” added Mr. Friedman. “Few legacy network providers have implemented network infrastructure that is constructed and architected with the latest production-hardened technologies, giving Hibernia a unique competitive position in the market.”

“Constellation’s investment and industry experience better positions Hibernia to expand our business and provide additional services and POPs for customer connectivity,” said Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Atlantic. “Hibernia has grown an average of 80% year-over-year for the past few years and we look forward to what this partnership brings to the next phase of our development.”

Just as 2009 closed, 2010 begins with a bang!   It was only a few weeks ago that Global Telecom & Technology closed its acquisition of WBS Connect and now it jumps into 2010 with a new acquisition target – this time it’s certain assets of Global Capacity, a Chicago-based company.  This deal provides GTT with an additional revenue stream of up to $25 million annually as they buy over 100 customers for up to $8 million in cash. 

This is a great way for a company to immediately increase its revenue, profitably, while staying true to its strategy of rapidly scaling its business.  What’s interesting about this acquisition is that many of the customers to be acquired are already existing customers of GTT.  No doubt this familiarity will help retain customers through the transition. 

Of course the deal is predicated on proper customer and supplier consent as well as approval by the Federal Communications Commission as GTT is publicly traded – OTCBB: GTLT.  With this news, just five calendar days into the New Year, I anticipate 2010 will be a truly exciting year for the Telecommunications sector.

 Please continue reading for the full press release:

GLOBAL TELECOM & TECHNOLOGY TO ACQUIRE ASSETS FROM GLOBAL CAPACITY 

Company Further Advances Strategy to Scale Business   

McLean, VA, January 5, 2010 — Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (“GTT”) (OTCBB: GTLT), a leading global network integrator that provides its clients with a broad portfolio of wide-area network, IP transit and mobility services, today announces it has signed an agreement to acquire certain customers and assets from Chicago-based Global Capacity.

Under the terms of the agreement, GTT will pay up to $8 million in cash for contracts with over 100 data transport customers generating up to $25 million in annualized revenue.  GTT expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2010, subject to customer and other supplier consents and approval by the Federal Communications Commission.

Structured as a simple transfer of customer contract agreements, this asset acquisition complements GTT’s existing business as many of the affected customers are also existing customers of GTT.  GTT expects to rapidly integrate these customers into its proprietary operational platform through its Circuit Management Database (CMD), resulting in virtually no service interruptions, minimal incremental support costs, and high quality service assurance for customers.

“Following on the heels of the acquisition of WBS Connect, the addition of Global Capacity’s customer base advances GTT’s strategy to rapidly scale our global telecom business.  With this transaction, we will further leverage our unique intellectual capital and enhance our established reputation for providing reliable telecom services to our global customer base,” said Rick Calder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Telecom & Technology.

“This is another significant step forward in building cash flow through prudent M&A activity,” said Eric Swank, Chief Financial Officer of GTT.  “This acquisition provides a great opportunity to leverage our CMD platform, by essentially porting the new circuits into our business, expanding our adjusted EBITDA in the process by layering on contract revenue from a very similar customer base.  Due to these synergies, we expect the transaction to be immediately accretive.”

This is the second acquisition in less than 60 days for GTT.  The company closed its acquisition of WBS Connect on December 16, 2009.  The WBS Connect acquisition provides GTT the opportunity to expand its portfolio of IP transit and Ethernet services, and adds over 60 points of presence in major metro markets throughout North America, Asia and Europe.

HIBERNIA ATLANTIC ACQUIRES INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST AND MEDIA PRODUCTION SERVICE PROVIDER MEDIAXSTREAM

  SERVING WORLDWIDE MEDIA COMPANIES’ INCREASING DEMAND FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORK SOLUTIONS 

SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND- December 15, 2009- Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transAtlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, today announces its acquisition of MediaXstream Inc., a leading provider of high quality transport and managed network services for the media production and broadcast industries. MediaXstream is currently operational in 20 major markets in the U.S. and Europe, serving the increasingly growing demand for High Definition video networking and production services by TV and film production, sports, news, mobile content and IPTV. By adding MediaXstream’s high quality transport services to Hibernia’s already robust financial and carrier-focused network, the combined reach, performance and product offering will add significant marketplace opportunities, technological innovation and customer value. Moving forward, MediaXstream will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Hibernia Atlantic.

The newly combined network capabilities are ideal for global media and broadcast companies looking for high performance, security, and local and global connectivity.

“We are combining the strengths and network reach of both companies to respond to the significant growth of the enterprise and media markets,” states Ken Peterson, Chairman of Hibernia Atlantic and CEO of Columbia Ventures Corporation. “We are finding that more and more media companies are migrating to multi-service network infrastructures, and away from satellite, in order to satisfy their production and broadcast requirements. As demand accelerates, customers are making the shift from analog to digital and from standard definition to high definition.  Large enterprises are also adding multi-service network infrastructures capable of supporting high definition video as critical elements of their daily operations.  The combination of MediaXstream with Hibernia’s secure and diverse North American and European network positions the combined company for continued rapid growth.”

Hibernia Atlantic significantly expands the network reach of MediaXstream into more than 10 key European markets while MediaXstream expands Hibernia’s North American network to 17 additional key Points of Presence in 14 new cities in the South and West, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Washington DC, Baltimore, San Diego and Las Vegas.

We are excited to extend our customers’ access into Europe and beyond over Hibernia’s fast and secure network. This deal reflects our commitment to our customers to provide the highest quality network service.”

Dark fiber is all the rage.  It’s the core underlying network that transports communications traffic from one point to another – but dark fiber alone isn’t the solution – it’s the way the fiber is lit that’s the difference.

Allied Fiber is building a new long haul dark fiber network that will eliminate obstacles for broadband access, wireless backhaul and lower latency through new, next generation construction.   The network will have a short-haul dark fiber route as well as a long-haul dark fiber route – directly parallel to one another. 

Allied Fiber Network Key

Since the speed of light can only move so fast, together with ADVA, Allied Fiber is capable of providing one of the fastest routes between New York and Chicago with a roundtrip latency sub 16ms.

Here is an illustration of the low-latency route on Allied Fiber’s dark fiber network, lit with ADVA’s Optical Networking gear:

Allied Fiber and ADVA's Low Latency Route from New York to Chicago

Allied Fiber's Solution to Mobile Backhaul

Finally, Allied Fiber illustrates the solution that its network will bring to Middle Mile Network operators.

Allied Fiber's Solution for Middle Mile Network Operators

ADVA’s Optical Networking gear cuts packet transport time in half.  For Financial companies it provides faster trades, since very millisecond counts.  For High Performance Computing (HPC), interconnected clusters can increase throughput and for Enterprise businesses, faster transfers and backups equal more productivity. 

Allied Fiber’s network, coupled with Carrier-Class Ethernet (CCE) can provide converged network solutions, enhanced network performance and can support enforceable stringent SLAs.  For more information about this solution, please visit www.advaoptical.com or www.alliedfiber.com or email info@alliedfiber.com.
