Pacnet has deployed an optical mesh network with 100Gbps technology between Asia and the United States on its EAC Pacific subsea cable system.
The company can now offer its carrier and enterprise customers 10Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps services across the Pacific.
Pacnet's 100G network upgrade aims to address the swelling demand for bandwidth throughout the region and all over the world.
“We have significantly boosted our bandwidth capacity and scalability to serve the dynamic needs of carriers and enterprises that support compute-intensive operations in the region," said Andy Lumsden, CTO of Pacnet.
The upgrade supports both Ethernet and OTN interfaces at a location, allows flexible selection of whether to multiplex, scale up and down, amplify, groom, optically express, or switch individual data streams.
Pacnet owns and operates EAC-C2C, Asia's largest privately-owned subsea cable network, which has multiple landing points in most locations.
The company also owns and operates EAC Pacific, which connects Chikura - located off the coast of Japan near Tokyo - to Los Angeles, California and other network Points of Presence (PoPs) on the US West Coast.
