By combining a resilient subsea route with its terrestrial European network, OTEGLOBE provides an alternative route for wholesale carriers in Europe to connect to Asia and the rest of the world via its Mediterranean hub in Greece. Traffic from Asia is routed through the AAE-1 subsea cable to OTEGLOBE's landing station at Chania, then on through OTEGLOBE's diverse and protected terrestrial network to Europe, ensuring resilience and diversity in the region. Chania can also be used as an alternative landing in EMEA, attracting new cables that can benefit from OTEGLOBE's reliable network.

"Greece is becoming a significant alternative hub for network capacity, connecting Europe to Asia and the rest of the world," said Panagiota Bosodgianni, CTO of OTEGLOBE. "Our wholesale customers increasingly demand higher bandwidth and more reliable services, and to meet their needs, we require the best and most innovative technology on the market. With the introduction of ICE4, we managed to reach 10.8 Tb/s on the unrepeatered subsea links, exceeding our expectations."

"Infinera is pleased to support OTEGLOBE in delivering reliable, high-capacity services to its customers," said Bob Jandro, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera. "OTEGLOBE's terrestrial network is powered by Infinera's solutions, and the upgrade of its subsea cable system with ICE4 underscores the value of our technology in thriving terrestrial and subsea applications. By deploying Infinera's innovative ICE-based subsea solution, OTEGLOBE is able to significantly increase capacity, exceeding expectations, on legacy cables."

Infinera will showcase its industry-leading coherent optical transmission solutions this week at Submarine Networks World, the leading annual gathering for the global subsea communications community, from September 16-18 in Singapore.
