WV Fiber Selects Hibernia Atlantic's trans-Atlantic Cable Network To Securely And Directly Connect To LINX, Europe's Largest Peering Exchange

WV Fiber, a growing provider of network services, and Hibernia Atlantic, the secure and diverse trans-Atlantic transport provider, announce today that WV Fiber has selected Hibernia's network to provide two OC-48 level services from New York to London to directly connect with LINX, Europe's largest exchange point.

WV Fiber selected Hibernia Atlantic for its ability to offer route diversity on a secure network. Hibernia Atlantic owns and operates the only direct trans-Atlantic cable route from the US and Canada to Ireland and the UK.

Hibernia's US-built transport does not traverse traditional, congested oceanic routes, like the UK's Cornwall area or the NY and NJ waterways.

"Since turning up the circuit to London a few weeks ago, WV Fiber has already added over 125 peers and are sending over two GigEs of traffic via Hibernia Atlantic's secure network," states Peter Marcum, CEO for WV Fiber. "With this connection, WV Fiber is now offering its existing transport, VPN, content delivery, and streaming media to hundreds of LINX's European ISPs and content delivery networks.

We chose Hibernia Atlantic as our cable network because the company has an extensive suite of network services, large bandwidth capacity, and at 63 millisecond latency, is an optimal solution for our customer needs."

"WV Fiber is a great addition to Hibernia's growing customer list," states Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Atlantic. " We look forward to providing WV Fiber with security through diversity."
