Citing strong demand for transatlantic bandwidth, Global Crossing Ltd. (Hamilton, Bermuda) will double the capacity of its Atlantic Crossing (AC-1) undersea fiber-optic network 18 months ahead of its initial schedule. The network will carry 80 Gbits/sec when the capacity upgrade is completed. AC-1 went into commercial service this past May, connecting the United States with the United Kingdom. An additional link to Germany is scheduled to be completed next month, with a Netherlands link activated in December 1998.
