Launched in May 2024, the 1,600 km IOEMA cable links the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Norway, enhancing connectivity for Hyperscalers and Content Providers. It also strengthens links to Europe’s core FLAP (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris) data hubs.
Leiston, one of Exa’s 20 cable landing stations, serves as a vital gateway to the Netherlands via the Concerto cable, offering low-latency routes to London, alternative paths to Dublin and northern UK regions, and access to transatlantic networks.
Eckhard Bruckschen, CTO at IOEMA Fibre added: "Working with Exa Infrastructure increases the connectivity solutions, diversity, and reach of our system."
