Earlier this summer, Aqua Comms activated its Amitié (AEC-3) transatlantic subsea cable system. CoreSite confirmed that Amitié is leveraging native colocation and connectivity services at the CoreSite Boston data center campus (BO1).
The Amitié cable, which was built by Alcatel Submarine Networks, spans 6,783 km (4,215 miles) and has landings in Lynn, Massachusetts; Widemouth Bay, England; and Le Porge, France.
It is the third high-capacity system added to Aqua Comms’ transatlantic footprint and offers enhanced diversity in both the United States and Europe.
“CoreSite values our partnership with Aqua Comms and the critical role our IT infrastructure plays in helping their organization deliver global subsea connectivity services as well as improving transmission capacity in North America and Europe,” said Juan Font, President and CEO of CoreSite and SVP of U.S. Tower. “As demand for reliable, diverse and secure connectivity continues to rise, purpose-built data centers like CoreSite’s Boston facility will serve as the central digital platform where cloud and network providers along with enterprises meet to conduct business and provide optimal customer solutions.”
