Telcom Group has been selected by Cardiff Council for the next phase of its Hypercity Transformation project, which will roll out full fibre internet network to homes and businesses across the city.
Colt has completed the deployment of a dark fibre cable along the Channel Tunnel connecting London to Paris, supporting the growing demand for cloud computing in both cities.
Responsible for the day-to-day operations of all new cables installed in the Channel Tunnel, Colt will ensure all connectivity services are highly secure.
Herve Jost, Director of Eurotunnel/Getlink Connectivity Solutions, Colt, said: “Approximately 80% of the internet traffic which runs between the UK and mainland Europe today travels through the Channel Tunnel.
“It is crucial to increase the bandwidth, enhance performance, bolster reliability, and fortify the security of our network.”
In September 2021, Colt and Getlink signed a 25-year contract to install and operate a new fibre optic network spanning the Channel Tunnel.
