Colt expands USA-Europe connectivity with new subsea and fibre routes
Colt is expanding its network between the US and Europe with a new transatlantic subsea route and fresh fibre builds on one of the world’s busiest data corridors. The upgrade opens access to the Marea subsea cable between Virginia Beach in the US and Bilbao in Spain, adds high-bandwidth terrestrial fibre between key cable landing stations, and introduces a new backbone linking New York, Ashburn (Virginia) and Virginia Beach. The company says this will support more secure, lower-latency links and make it easier for customers to scale services.
The rollout also brings more diverse transatlantic paths for backup and resilience, plus new 100G and 400G connectivity options between the US and Europe. Colt expects large cloud and content providers to be among the first to use the added capacity. With this expansion, Colt now has four connected cable landing stations on the US East Coast and access to 10 transatlantic subsea cable systems.
