DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hibernia Networks, a leading provider of global, high speed telecommunications services, today announces it is the recipient of the TMT News 2016 Technology Award for Most Innovative Global Optical Transport and Ethernet Services. This award honors the company’s recently launched Protected Wavelength Service, which is the only protected wavelength service offered on the transatlantic route, leveraging Hibernia Networks’ three wholly owned subsea cables. Additionally, the award recognizes Hibernia Networks for setting a new industry benchmark for network latency performance, underpinning its robust suite of Optical and Ethernet services, on key routes between North America and Europe. At the core is Hibernia Express, the only transatlantic cable system optimized for latency performance.
The TMT News Technology Awards celebrate key players who have innovated cutting-edge advances in the technology sector. This win comes just months after Hibernia Networks received the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award for Fixed Infrastructure and was shortlisted for the Leading Lights Awards’ Most Innovative Ethernet/Optical Service.
“We’re honored to be recognized by TMT News for our industry leading Optical and Ethernet services,” states Omar Altaji, Chief Commercial Officer at Hibernia Networks. “We are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, providing customers with the lowest latency network solutions that directly impact their revenue performance and profitability.”
Hibernia Networks’ Protected Wavelength Service, announced in May, offers less than 50 milliseconds failover switching to a fully dedicated alternative circuit, providing customers with secure and resilient connectivity on the transatlantic corridor. Additionally, Hibernia Networks’ suite of Ultra Low Latency services offers the fastest network connections available on the market between key financial, media and commercial centers. Powered by Hibernia Express, the services offer guaranteed latency that is more than 5 milliseconds faster than the next fastest service between New York and London, enabling customers to more efficiently and effectively run latency-sensitive applications, including split-second financial transactions, media-rich content delivery and machine-to-machine cloud-based computing.
