Faced with strong demand for fast, high-performance global network services, TeleGeography forecasts that bandwidth demand between North America and Europe will increase by 40% annually over the next six years, driven by the rise of cloud computing and its large data transfer and storage requirements.

The Hibernia Express cable features state-of-the-art cable infrastructure and optical transmission technologies, enabling performance capabilities superior to existing transatlantic cable systems. Hibernia Express offers optical transport services at speeds up to 100 Gbps and is capable of delivering 200 Gbps on select segments. The 6-pair fiber cable is optimized for ultra-low latency performance, offering unparalleled round-trip delay of less than 60 milliseconds on the New York-London route. Leveraging a cutting-edge DWDM technology platform, Hibernia Express is designed to potentially scale to 400 Gbps per circuit and beyond, allowing customers to meet their ever-increasing bandwidth requirements.
“Network latency has become a critical factor for the performance of financial firms, content providers, and web-based businesses, among other industries that rely on latency-sensitive applications to run their operations,” says Alan Mauldin, Director of Research at TeleGeography. “Hibernia Networks has designed the new Hibernia Express transatlantic cable to deliver the lowest latency service between major financial and commercial centers in North America and Europe using a more direct route and the latest generation of optical technologies.”
