The first phase will include ultra long-haul (ULH) equipment deployed on the core backbone network routes between Verizon Business’s main European network hubs in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris and Brussels, providing the first 3,230km of ULH transport in the Verizon Business European network. It will support speeds up to 40 GB per second.
Joe Cook, vice president of global network engineering and planning, Verizon Business, said: Deploying ultra long-haul technology on our core network in Europe will give our Verizon Business customers the opportunity to move to wavelength services as well as grow their use of Web-based applications and high-speed Ethernet solutions.
