Colt Technology Services has enhanced its transatlantic digital infrastructure by integrating the Apollo South undersea cable with the NJFX Premium Connectivity Hub located on the Jersey Shore. This development significantly improves connectivity between major commercial and economic centers in the United States and Europe, reinforcing Colt’s ability to support businesses in these regions.
The Apollo South route, now terminating at the New Jersey Fiber Exchange (NJFX), offers businesses in New Jersey and New York City direct access to Colt’s high-capacity, secure, and reliable network. This integration allows enterprises to experience heightened performance, reduced latency, and improved security akin to the advantages enjoyed by Colt’s existing ‘on-net’ clients.
The Apollo South cable stretches from Lannion, Brittany in northwestern France to New Jersey, facilitating interconnection with numerous European sites. This subsea route serves as a critical link for businesses that demand high-performing and robust global infrastructure, catering to increasing data needs propelled by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other data-intensive applications.
The newly enhanced transatlantic connectivity is especially advantageous for retailers looking to expand into the U.S., manufacturers with a presence in both Europe and North America, and financial firms needing swift and seamless data transfers between major financial hubs. NJFX tenants and Colt customers operating in New Jersey and New York City can leverage this integration for improved international connectivity. The upgraded infrastructure accommodates a variety of services, including Wave, IP, and Ethernet solutions, with bandwidth capabilities reaching up to 100Gb.
By connecting to Colt’s network, businesses gain access to an extensive range of services that feature enhanced network performance, strong security measures, real-time network flexibility, and faster service provisioning. This strategic expansion strengthens Colt’s position as a significant contributor to global connectivity while offering companies seamless, high-caliber digital infrastructure solutions.
Buddy Bayer, Colt’s Chief Operating Officer, underscored the importance of this expansion, noting that today’s successful enterprises function within an interconnected global economy that demands robust, secure, and high-performance access to digital services. The integration of Apollo South with NJFX allows more firms to access Colt’s award-winning fiber infrastructure and exceptional customer support.
NJFX’s CEO, Gil Santaliz, also highlighted the significance of this partnership by stating that it sets new standards for network transparency and resilience. He emphasized that customers now benefit from enhanced access in New Jersey, just a short distance from the Apollo South cable landing station, which provides secure and efficient infrastructure to meet global connectivity demands.
The Apollo South cable forms part of the extensive 13,000 km Apollo undersea cable system and spans roughly 7,000 km, capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 100Gb/s. In the U.S., it lands in Manasquan/Wall Township, New Jersey, and connects in Europe at the Lannion Cable Landing Station in Brittany, France. Through this infrastructure, Colt continues to play an integral role in facilitating the digital transformation of businesses globally.
