Zayo Group Upgrades to 100G Optical Platform
  • Zayo Group, announced last Friday the completion of a network upgrade to 100G optical platform which enables Zayo to provide 100G wavelength services over its long-haul European network. The Global Bandwidth Infrastructure provider said that its long-haul network which extends from London to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Paris, and Paris to London, has been gradually updated over a nine-month span to serve market demand for 100G services and enable more efficient delivery of 10G services. 

  • Zayo noted that the investment in the network upgrade was completed in conjunction with its recent expansion in Western Europe. Through its acquisition of Geo Networks in May 2014, Zayo added over 2,100 route miles to its European network. Zayo will add an additional 350 metro route miles to its network through the acquisition of Neo Telecoms, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014.

"This expansion of our 100G capability is testament to our continued investment in Europe and dedication to providing our customers with the latest technology to accommodate bandwidth needs. With these long-haul capabilities in place, we can provide significantly enhanced service between our metro networks”. 

Alastair Kane, European Vice-President, Zayo Group
