The new fiber pair has been brought into service to address the growing bandwidth demands of Aqua Comms’ customers as requirements to rapidly, seamlessly, and reliably move vast quantities of data continue to increase. It has also provided an opportunity for Aqua Comms to reinforce its credentials as a responsible operator with a focus on increasing supply whilst minimizing power requirements to push for leading-edge, innovative, and sustainable Trans-Atlantic capacity solutions.
Nick Barton, CCO at Aqua Comms, commented: “Aqua Comms prides itself on customer focus and operational excellence. By continually investing in our systems, we are able to demonstrate that we are at the forefront in supporting the growing demands of our customers with industry leading, high-bandwidth network services.
“From a sustainability perspective, this new fiber pair has given us an opportunity to really analyze the entire system and supplier network to make significant energy savings,” continues Barton. “Through use of new technology, we will be able to generate more capacity per fiber pair, leading to better performance on power draw per Tb, and therefore a significantly more sustainable system. The system will also reduce regen requirements at our different cable landing stations and simplify backhauls to create a greener path.”
