Private dedicated network provides diverse
backhaul from cable landing station
New Cross Pacific (NCP) US Backhaul group, comprised of Chunghwa
Telecom, KT Corporation, China Telecom, China Mobile International
and China Unicom, has selected Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:
ZAYO) for a private dedicated network (PDN), to diversely backhaul
traffic from its U.S. landing station across the western United
States.
The NCP subsea cable, which spans more than 13,000km (8,000
miles), will link Asian landing stations in Chongming, Nanhui,
Lingang, Busan, Toucheng and Maruyama with its U.S. landing station
in Hillsboro, Oregon. The NCP subsea cable is expected to land in
the next few months, providing capacity that can scale up to 80
Tbps.
Zayo’s 4,300km (2,700 mile) backhaul solution will provide NCP’s
US Backhaul group with connectivity from the landing station
throughout the West Coast, including San Jose and Los Angeles, with
connectivity options throughout North America. The PDN solution
provides dark fiber as well as a full range of managed fiber
solutions.
“This milestone agreement leverages our dense fiber connectivity
across the west coast to cable landing stations and provides the
group with a high-capacity solution that we can turn up quickly and
efficiently,” said Jack Waters, CTO and president of Fiber
Solutions at Zayo. “Zayo’s recent acquisition of Electric Lightwave
this year has been pivotal, enabling Zayo to provide a
high-capacity solution of this scope and scale.”
Most domestic bandwidth to and from a Trans-Pacific destination
will route through one of the new West Coast cable landing
stations. “With Zayo’s managed facilities, NCP US Backhaul will
create opportunities for our customers to reliably access popular
North American PoPs and Data Centers in May 2018,” said a
representative of NCP US Backhaul group.
