Firm’s mission is to provide Europe with more transatlantic route combinations than any other provider
EXA Infrastructure announced its sixth transatlantic subsea cable route with the addition of Amitié.
The company describes itself as “the largest dedicated digital infrastructure platform connecting Europe and North America”.
The addition of Amitié boosts both capacity and diversity of routes, connecting the strategic hubs of One Summer Street Boston in the US, Slough in the UK and Bordeaux in France.
From Bordeaux, onward connectivity can be provided to anywhere on the EXA’s owned network.
The intent is to meet the needs of rising levels of traffic in and out of Europe. EXA’s mission is on extending and improving its backbone to provide the European continent with more transatlantic route combinations than any other provider.
The Amitié cable lands in EXA’s cable station in Lynn, Massachusetts and extends for 6,783 kilometres connecting the US to Le Porge in France and Bude in the United Kingdom.
In October 2023, the firm announced two other links, Havfrue and Dunant subsea cables to its network, connecting to EXA’s European backbone.
The six transatlantic routes include the longer established EXA North, South and Express subsea cables.
Steve Roberts, Vice President Network Investments at EXA Infrastructure, said, “Amitié not only strengthens our network but also serves as a testament to our steadfast dedication to investing in cutting-edge infrastructure.”
