Southern Cross cable good until at least 2030
Southern Cross Cable’s CEO, Anthony Briscoe today announced that the undersea cable connecting New Zealand to the rest of the world will be fully functional for at least another 15 years. “After an extensive consulting process over the last year, with some of the world’s foremost technical experts, and with Alcatel the supplier of the cable, the clear advice was there is every reason to be confident that the Southern Cross Cable Network will be fully functional until at least 2030” he said.
“As a result we presented the findings of our studies to our 7 largest customers who have unanimously agreed to extend their “Capacity Use Agreements” until 2030”
Our customers in New
Zealand, Australia, the US and the Pacific demand
reliability and capacity. This decision by Southern Cross
has removed uncertainty in the market as to future supply
and with an availability record on our protected circuit of
over 99.999% for the last year, cements the company’s
position as a dependable service provider.
At the same
time Southern Cross has moved to stay well ahead of the
demand curve. From a total capability of just 160 Gbps in
2001 to 6500 Gbps today and with future upgrades planned as
well, the needs of our customers in New Zealand and
Australia are well covered, Mr Briscoe
noted.
