PIPE picks Equinix for Sydney interconnect

IT Industry - Strategy

PIPE International has chosen Equinix' Sydney-1 International Business Exchange as the the interconnection point for the Sydney end of its PPC-1 undersea cable.

PIPE's PPC-1 cable connects Sydney with Guam (a distance of 6900km), from where there are onward connections to China, Japan, the US and other nations.

PPC-1 - the first carrier-neutral submarine cable - has a capacity of 2.56Tbps.

The Sydney-1 International Business Exchange operated by Equinix has been selected as the interconnection point with the leading Australian carriers that use the centre.

"We are extremely pleased to have been selected by PIPE International to help create market interest for the PPC-1 undersea cable project," said Samuel Lee, president, Equinix Asia Pacific.

"We provide a very efficient and secure means to distribute optimised traffic to the Australian market as well as increase the options for international transit and transport services out of Australia," Lee added.

"The new PPC-1 cable system will also enable our customers to increase the resilience of their international network and provide additional redundancy."
