Hibernia Atlantic’s Project Express Marks Another Key Milestone For Sub <60 Millisecond Transatlantic Submarine Cable

Posted by vanessa on June 15th, 2011

Another milestone for Hibernia Atlantic hits the marketplace this morning regarding its historic Project Express subsea cable build.  The submarine survey, a critical step in the transatlantic network’s deployment, is now underway and will provide valuable data to assist Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd. in the cable manufacturing process. Specially designed ships will survey the ocean floor to ensure conditions are acceptable and cable is properly designed.

Project Express will offer the lowest latency connectivity in history between New York and London.  On track to be completed in 2012, this is the first transatlantic subsea cable build in over 10 years.

For more information on the deepsea submarine survey, please visit www.hiberniaatlantic.com or read the full announcement below:

HIBERNIA ATLANTIC’S PROJECT EXPRESS MARKS ANOTHER KEY MILESTONE FOR SUB <60 MILLISECOND TRANSATLANTIC SUBMARINE CABLE

DEEP-SEA SUBMARINE SURVEY DESIGNED TO EXPEDITE CABLE MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLATION IS UNDERWAY

SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND – June 15th, 2011 – Hibernia Atlantic, the only American-owned, diverse transatlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, announces another important milestone in its Project Express cable build; its deep-sea submarine survey is now underway. A critical step in this historic build, the submarine survey will use specialist ships to sail the exact planned route of the cable from Brean, England to Halifax, Nova Scotia, ensuring the chosen route is free of obstacles and to assess the installation techniques to be used. As the first transatlantic subsea cable build in ten years, Project Express will offer the lowest latency route from New York to London of less than 60 milliseconds.  This will be the fastest, most direct route connecting the continents since the deployment of the first telegraph cables.

Hibernia Atlantic is commencing with the survey now and accelerating to the next phase. The results of this survey will allow for Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd. to manufacture the cable to the exact requirements, accommodating the conditions of the seabed and ensuring its resiliency.

“The deep-sea survey is another important step in manufacturing the Express cable system,” states Nigel Bayliff, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Marine Network. “Data which is collected in this survey will allow us to deploy a system properly designed for the changing conditions along the route. Additionally, information received from the survey will greatly enhance system security.”

“The new Express transatlantic cable will provide high capacity, fast speeds, and a secure and reliable environment to transport critical transactions faster from one key financial city or exchange to the next,” states Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Atlantic. “Project Express will offer the lowest latency from New York to London, allowing Hibernia to strategically serve this highly competitive marketplace.  The survey, in which we are using three ships to survey the exact route chosen for our Express cable, is a substantial undertaking for Hibernia and we are excited as this marks the start of the physical build and lay of the cable.  We are encouraged by the interest that this cable has received in the financial community and we are excited to be building it for our Express Partners.”

Project Express will be an essential route on Hibernia’s Global Financial Network (GFN).  The GFN currently unites hundreds of global banks and financial exchanges with a single connection and guaranteed 100% up-time SLAs. Built for the financial community, the GFN meets their demanding performance and reliability requirements. Project Express will further strengthen the GFN, reinforcing it as the fastest path across the Atlantic, with additional fast and secure links throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

The first phase of the new build will begin with a new cable from the Brean in Somerset in the UK, to Halifax in Canada then connect to Hibernia’s current low latency cable from Halifax to Lynn near Boston and onwards to New York. In addition, the new system will include branching units for future latency enhancements to the U.S. and Continental Europe. To join those in the financial community that have partnered with Hibernia on this historic build, please contact Hibernia sales at express@hiberniaatlantic.com.

Hibernia Atlantic expands its diverse, secure network into Interxion’s Dublin data center. As the only direct, low latency connectivity between North America and Ireland, this new route offers high-bandwidth businesses the fastest and most direct path to Ireland.  Spurring local and global commerce growth, this expansion allows North American companies located in Ireland and foreign investment companies to fuel their mission-critical, high capacity websites, networks and applications.

In addition, all network operators located at Interxion DUB2 can access the Hibernia Atlantic high-speed, fibre-opticInterxion cable system, including Hibernia’s latest Irish high-capacity cable build, known as Project Kelvin.

For more information, please visit www.hiberniaatlantic.com, or read the full announcement below:

HIBERNIA ATLANTIC CONNECTS TO INTERXION’S DUBLIN DATA CENTER

SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND – May 24, 2011 – Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transatlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, announced today that its high capacity fibre optic cable system is now connected to Interxion’s newest data centre, DUB2, located in Dublin, Ireland.  The new high capacity link offers the only direct, submarine cable to connect North America to Ireland.  This high performance connectivity also provides access throughout Ireland, and to and from mainland Europe and North America, allowing for local and global commerce opportunities.

Interxion, a leading European provider of carrier-neutral colocation data centre services, operates 28 carrier-neutral data centres located across 11 European countries. Interxion clients now have access to the only diverse network route linking Europe, the United States and Canada.

“The Hibernia network is a natural draw for companies with a requirement for high capacity bandwidth, such as content delivery providers, social media engines and cloud service providers, who command as much as ten-plus Gigabit Ethernet connections to ensure their IT infrastructure is always available,” states Arjan de Haan, acting MD of Interxion.  “Our secure facilities were specifically designed to support mission-critical applications and ICT Infrastructure. Hibernia’s diverse, fast connectivity is another true value-add for our clients, who are looking for both bandwidth capacity to cope with large volumes of data and high performance when transporting their business critical information within Ireland or abroad.”

As part of the ongoing efforts to invest more in Ireland, Hibernia Atlantic first built its network into Ireland as part of the Project Kelvin deployment, a government-funded submarine and terrestrial cable build that now directly connects Ireland to North America. To further enhance its lowest latency connections, Hibernia Atlantic also recently announced a historic, new transatlantic cable build, called Project Express. Once completed, this will be the lowest latency, transatlantic connection from New York to London with sub 60 ms speed.

The initiative is to provide local and global commerce opportunities between Ireland and the rest of the world, offering local and global businesses access to secure, ultra low latency capacity. The new Hibernia Atlantic link into the Interxion DUB2 facility specifically caters to North American corporations in Ireland and foreign investment organisations that require the fastest routes into and throughout Ireland. In addition, it delivers further network diversity and business opportunity to all who colocate with Interxion at DUB2 and to all who can access the Hibernia transatlantic network.

“Hibernia Atlantic’s new network deployments, such as this one into Interxion’s Dublin facility, further stimulate growth to the region and attract additional investments,” states Fergus Innes, VP of Sales, EMEA of Hibernia Atlantic. “We are proud of the relationship with Interxion and in adding value to its carrier neutral data centre offering, in Ireland and abroad.”
