Vocus : goes under Sydney Harbour again to power up its network

'Essentially it's like 720 car lanes. We'll have a lot of dark fibre or wavelength capacity for our wholesale customers. This is now the twelfth crossing Vocus has, joining the north and south end of Sydney together,' Dale said.

Vocus' is a leading provider of direct fibre connections to data centres. Across Australia, its national fibre network connects to 144 data centres, including 17 of its own.

Vocus General Manager Wholesale and International, Jarrod Nink, said increasing the network capacity and interconnections between major data centres in Sydney was a key activity for Vocus to help meet the growing demand from global over-the-top (OTT) content providers and wholesale partners.

'More people need bandwidth in more places, there's a lot working from home, there's a lot more of a move to cloud based applications,' Jarrod said.

'Data centres are the lifeblood of where all those transaction takes place, which is why Vocus continues to invest in our network,' he said.
