Crosslake Fibre has selected Hexatronic Cables & Interconnect Systems AB of Sweden to supply the high-fibre-count submarine fibre optic cable for its new submarine cable project (CrossChannel project) being developed across the English Channel.
As reported in a leading daily, this new fibre infrastructure has been optimized to create the shortest path between the two data centre hubs, providing users with an enhanced technical solution and materially lowering operating costs. With the continued increase in bandwidth demand further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, subsea cables have never been more critical to the functioning of the backbone of the Internet.
