Hibernia to connect Iceland to North America(Iceland)Submarine transport cable provider Hibernia Atlantic plans to construct an undersea fibre optic cable system. Hibernia Atlantic will deploy a branching unit off its existing northern cable and give Iceland direct connectivity to North America, Ireland, London, Amsterdam and the rest of continental Europe. The new cable link will provide connectivity to Iceland at 192 X 10 Gbps Ethernet wavelengths. The cable system will allow communications traffic from Iceland to go either east or west with direct access to 42 cities and 52 network points of presence and the ability to steer traffic around major metropolitan areas and bypass traditional backhaul routes. Hibernia Atlantic projects the system will become fully operational for customer traffic in the fall of 2008.
