PCCW Global Signs Onto Aqua Comm's Transatlantic Cable

PCCW Global, the international operating division of Hong Kong's HKT, plans to deliver transatlantic capacity on Aqua Comms’ America Europe Connect (AEConnect) subsea fiber optic cable system, which will enable PCCW Global to obtain additional route diversity.

With more than 52 Tbps of available capacity, the AEConnect system utilizes innovative optical technologies, including the latest technology of 130 x 100 Gbps per fiber pair.

Mr. Greg Varisco, Chief Operations Officer of Aqua Comms, said, “Aqua Comms is pleased that Aqua Comms_final logo_RGBPCCW Global has selected AEConnect, our next-generation fiber optic cable system, to provide low latency and high capacity connectivity for its transatlantic backbone network between its New York and London Points of Presence. Offering diversity between two of its major international hubs, this highly secure and technologically advanced transatlantic system is also future-proofed against increased capacity requirements, a demand that only AEConnect, and not legacy systems, could satisfy.”
