Hundreds of jobs to flow from transatlantic data cable
The Irish Examiner has learnt that global networks operator, Hibernia Networks, has agreed to build a ‘spur’ off its $250m (€200m) 100-gigabit-per-second Project Express cable, linking the US to Europe, directly in to the south coast of Ireland.
The Irish link, which is estimated to cost up to €14m, will open up vital high-capacity, or Tier 1, fibre connectivity from Cork direct to the US and Britain.
