Telstra has launched a new 100Gbps '100G Wavelength service' connectivity across multiple ultra-long haul submarine cable routes globally to accommodate the growth of cloud-based data operators and connect the increasing number of data centres managed by service and content providers. The new 100G Wavelength service will cover Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Australia and the United States. Telstra said that the 100G wavelength service will be delivered via Telstra’s Asia America Gateway (AAG Dedicated Fiber Pair), Reach North Asia Loop (RNAL), Telstra Endeavour, Australia-Japan Cable (AJC) and UNITY cable systems.
According to Telstra, its 100G Wavelength service was designed to scale smartly and would also help deliver the connectivity and capacity needed to support market demand for larger bandwidth applications, including High Definition video services and emerging Ultra High Definition Television. In addition, it can help customers reduce operational expenditure and simplify network maintenance.
