Complete the world's fastest fiber cable service

Hibernia Express optical cable will be used to transfer data at the fastest speed in the world on 19/9.

Hibernia Express - The world's fastest fiber optic network

This is the first underground cable to be installed in the corridor between London and New York after more than a decade. When put into operation, financial market transactions between the two cities will be made at the highest rate ever, IBTimes reported.

Hibernia Networks , the developer of the $ 300 million fiber optic cable installation, said the cable installation was completed on Sept. 15. Bjarni Thorvardarson, chief executive of Hibernia Networks, said the 4,500-kilometer-long cable system would transmit information between the two sides of the ocean at less than 59.9 milliseconds, faster than high-speed fiber optics. most current 5 milliseconds.

The AC-1 fiber optic cable, which connects the United States and three European countries, is England, Holland, and Germany with a transmission time of 64.8 milliseconds, the fastest cable system in use.

Part of the new cable system will branch off to Cork, Ireland, where large technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google have set up data centers in recent years. Thorvardarson hopes the new high-speed cable system will help Cork and its surrounding areas become the ideal location for companies to set up new data centers or offices.

The cable is made up of 6 pairs of fiber, in which one pair is responsible for transmitting information at the highest possible speed, 4 pairs responsible for transmitting large data. According to Thorvardarson, even the project engineers optimize their speed by milliseconds by placing the cable precisely at the curvature of the Earth, which is the shortest path between the two terminals on land: London and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Data to Halifax will then be transmitted to New York via inland cable.
