Northern Ireland undersea branch to be implemented

That's just a spur from the existing Hibernia Atlantic fibre that goes from Halifax to Dublin. In my opinion, that should have been done from the very beginning. Kind regards, Martin List-Petersen -- Airwire - Ag Nascadh Pobal an Iarthar http://www.airwire.ie Phone: 091-865 968

Is all of this terrestrial network already in place? http://www.hiberniaatlantic.com/maps/HA_NIreland_Routes.pdf -- Martin Hannigan martin@theicelandguy.com p: +16178216079
Actually, it is a big deal. Hibernia is already the only cable system that can send Irish traffic directly to North American without backhauling to the UK. That's a significantly latency and diversity advantage. We can now send traffic directly to the US on both cables without UK backhaul and hence provide more physical diversity. It also enables us to serve an underserved market, Northern Ireland, and provide low latency and protected services betweeen the UK and Ireland. And we beat the who-whos of telecom in winning this RFP. :) Regards, Roderick S.

I understand that it isn't yet, but that it can be built out relatively quickly. Nick
It can be done very quickly. We've committed to fast delivery. The terrestrial conduit and fibre is ready to go ... Roderick S.
