With connectivity demands continuing to be on the upswing, Aqua Comms’ second Trans-Atlantic System, America Europe Connect-2 (AEC-2), now ready for service, is a boon for companies looking to fortify their networks with route diversity, resiliency, increased capacity and performance.

AEC-2 is the second fully operational Trans-Atlantic system (AEC-1 was launched in 2016).  This new system is completely diverse from the first leg with fiber connectivity routed between the U.S. in Wall, NJ at NJFX’s carrier-neutral cable landing station and Tier 3 colocation facility, completely bypassing Manhattan enroute to Denmark.  This new system, directly connecting North America to Denmark is the first system in 20 years to do so.
