Global cloud and network provider Interoute has launched new 100G routes between the UK and Europe, enabling service providers and large enterprises to transport traffic from the UK midlands to Europe without going through the London area.
This investment is part of a long-term strategy to reinforce Interoute's UK infrastructure and offer varied routes to mainland Europe.
"The new service offering will address the current key demands of network operators such as improved cyber resilience, increased efficiency, lower costs and greater speed of deployment through improved diversity and route resilience," said Jonathan Wright, VP of Commercial Operations at Interoute.
Roopa Honnachari, Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan, added: "We have seen a rise in demand for high-bandwidth services with a forecasted shift towards 10G and 100G services in the long-term.
"The largest wholesale services market is concentrated where there is high activity. As a result, Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, are the largest markets in terms of revenue."
