EXA Infrastructure, a digital infrastructure platform headquartered in London, is enhancing its connectivity between Europe and North America by introducing its fifth transatlantic route to its extensive network footprint. This significant expansion includes the Dunant cable, a southern corridor linking the US and Europe, strengthening the company’s commitment to providing diverse, reliable, and high-capacity transatlantic connectivity.
Connecting Continents: EXA’s Transatlantic Network Expansion
EXA Infrastructure’s recent investment follows its strategic partnership with Bulk Fiber Networks, which incorporated the Havfrue subsea cable, establishing a connection from the US to Norway and Denmark. This cable infrastructure has been integrated into EXA’s extensive European backbone, offering an enhanced network that caters to the burgeoning demand for transatlantic connectivity.
Diverse Routes for Enhanced Connectivity
EXA’s new Dunant cable augments the company’s existing cables that link Paris and Bordeaux in France to prominent data center clusters in the United States, including Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Ashburn. This addition to the network provides an essential layer of diversity compared to other transatlantic cables, as it seamlessly integrates with EXA’s comprehensive European backbone, extending connectivity to key cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Marseille through distinct routes.
Empowering Data Center Connectivity
The transatlantic market represents one of the most prominent subsea markets worldwide. In anticipation of its continued growth, EXA Infrastructure is uniquely positioned to provide its customers with a wealth of options, diversity, and reliability across its five transatlantic routes. The inclusion of the Dunant cable, boasting 400G readiness, aligns with EXA’s mission to become a leading pan-European and transatlantic provider of data center-to-data center connectivity.
Investing in Reliable Infrastructure
EXA Infrastructure now boasts a footprint covering 18,000 kilometers of owned subsea cable infrastructure, encompassing ownership of 20 cable landing stations. As connectivity demands surge in the digital age, the company is committed to further investment and network expansion to meet the evolving needs of its users. Furthermore, EXA’s status as a fiber pair owner on eight other subsea cables throughout Europe and the Mediterranean highlights its dedication to providing customers with dependable, low-latency, and high-performance data connections.
