  • GTT opens new PoP in Japan

    GTT opens new PoP in Japan

    US-based cloud networking provider GTT Communications has launched a new PoP in Osaka Japan as part of an expansion of its global Tier 1 network.

    The company has also opened four new PoPs in the US – in Charlotte, Kansas City, St. Louis and Reno – and one in Calgary in Canada.

    GTT’s network now includes more than 300 PoPs across six continents. The operator also announced in February that it plans to acquire European fiber network operator Interoute for around €1.9 billion ($2.7 billion), adding an additional 400 PoPs to its network.

    The Interoute network includes over 67,000 km of lit fiber, 25 physical or virtual data centers, 31 colocation centers and connections to 195 additional third party data centers across Europe.

    “GTT will continue to expand our network globally as we deliver on our purpose of connecting people across organizations, around the world and to every application in the cloud,” GTT president and CEO Rick Calder said.

  • GTT deploys new low latency routes

    GTT deploys new low latency routes

    Yesterday, GTT Communications announced a series of new low latency routes around the globe, and simultaneously launched a new time  synchronization service.

    The new low latency routes include Hong Kong to Tokyo, Hong Kong to Singapore, Mumbai to Singapore, New York City-Mexico City and Johannesburg to London. They bring the company’s total low-latency portfolio to more than 60 routes connecting over 130 financial exchanges.

    Meanwhile GTT’s time synchronization service aims to give financial customers a single source of time across their global trading footprints.

    This answers the question of what one gets when one combine’s Hibernia Networks’ financial business and transatlantic cable with the international network relationships that GTT acquired with the earlier deal for the Inteliquent/Tinet backbone.

    GTT’s more recent M&A moves have been in the US with the acquisition of Global Capacity and pending purchase of Transbeam. However, I wonder whether the next targets might come from overseas.
