The thinking behind the network

As technology advances and data usage soars with traffic predicted to double every 3 years, telecom networks face the challenge of keeping up with the growing demands of users across various sectors. EXA Infrastructure (EXA), a leading data centre (DC) to DC connectivity provider, recognises the critical role that fibre optics play in shaping the future of telecommunications.

In today’s hyperconnected – real time digital world subsea cable systems play a vital yet often overlooked role in making this possible. Deep below the shoreline of our oceans, the unsung heroes of our digital age transport the burden of global internet traffic, phone and video calls, as well as all end user generated content.

Powering global telecommunications is in our DNA, says Chief Commercial Officer, Nicholas Collins who explores the fundamental role fibre optic cables play in today’s interconnected world and how EXA is supporting connectivity.

Behind the scenes of live streaming, instant search and communications are the unsung secure and interconnected heroes, the cable landing stations (CLS). While subsea cables are the invisible force powering the internet, data is arguably the lifeblood of our globalised world.

The necessity for a comprehensive digital transformation in the telecommunications sector is evident, particularly given the goal to provide customers with seamless experiences and quick service provision.

Cable landing stations (CLS) are a pivotal aspect to modern infrastructure. As we look ahead to 2023, EXA’s Thomas Fabre, Senior Director of Network Investments looks at the new paradigm and market reaction to open CLS.

Starting a new year and setting our business intentions is exciting as it is challenging. EXA’s Director of Marketing Cristina Crucini looks back at the journey, highlights and milestones achieved in 2022.
