Hibernia Atlantic supplies wholesale connectivity for Telefónica International

Transatlantic connectivity provider Hibernia Atlantic has been selected to supply new connectivity between Europe and the US to Telefónica International Wholesale Services (TIWS).

Part of the Telefónica Group, TIWS has taken on the additional capacity from Hibernia Atlantic to keep with the significant growth in the needs of its multinational customers, it says.

Hibernia’s transatlantic submarine cable network connects over 120 points of presence throughout Europe and North America. With a 24,000-km submarine and terrestrial fiber-optic network, Hibernia says it provides its customers and global communities with high-end technical support, flexible network services, and wholesale capacity prices.

"Hibernia Atlantic’s unique route diversity provides an additional redundancy to Telefónica`s international backbone and its customers to connect Europe and the US," states José Ramón Vela, CEO of Telefónica International Wholesale Services. "TIWS looks to advance its network capabilities based upon its clients’ growing needs by working with partners such as Hibernia; as such, we now have increased network scalability backed by high quality performance."
