Hawaiki Nui and OPT have partnered to assess connecting French Polynesia to the new Hawaiki Nui transpacific submarine cable.

Datagrid's new data centre will comprise up to 10 modules, each spanning 6,500 square metres and provide the university with an easily scalable hosting solution.

BW Digital has completed its full acquisition of Hawaiki Submarine Cable, with all applicable regulatory filings and approvals now received.

Submarine cable networks are often perceived as quite an anomaly to some. While they are generally a crucial part of a country's data and communication infrastructure, there is limited knowledge and public perception of the actual technology behind them.

The cable will link internet traffic between Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and the United States.

“BW has an excellent track record of growth in maritime and technology-related assets," says Hawaiki's Rémi Galasso.

Invercargill’s cool climate, land space, remote location and its renewable energy capabilities make it an attractive location for a data centre.

The end result is a new route linking Sydney, Guam, Hawai‘i and Los Angeles, offering greater connectivity and route diversity to organisations operating between Australia and the United States.

The new deal will enable REANNZ to boost connectivity and gain additional capacity on the Hawaiki network, as well as diverse trans-Tasman and trans-Pacific subsea routes.

"New Caledonia will be able to enjoy the multiple benefits of Hawaiki’s international connectivity and boost the development of its digital economy, both locally and in the Pacific region.”

The Hawaiki cable links Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, Hawaii and the US West Coast

PacketFabric will deliver its services via the Hawaiki Transpacific Cable System, which connects Australia, New Zealand, and the United States’ west coast.

The new route completes Hawaiki’s existing links to the United States.

This deal is the latest in a series of commercial wins for Hawaiki.

The Hawaiki submarine cable that connects Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Hawaii to the United States now has a new point of presence in Seattle.

The REANNZ Hawaiki cable capacity has successfully transferred 37 million files across the Pacific Ocean, revealing massive potential.

Following a partnership with Ciena, the subsea cable's transmission speeds have increased 53 percent.

Competition is opening up in the Internet traffic market with this being the first high speed connection to NZ that Spark doesn't have a stake in.

"The New Zealand business community is excited for all that the Hawaiki cable will provide."

The investment is the latest in a series of expansions for Equinix in APAC, with other recent expansions in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Colocation deployment model addresses rising traffic, simplifies deployment and improves performance

The route survey for the long-awaited Hawaiki cable has now been completed, and details have been revealed about how far production has progressed.

“New Zealand’s demand for data is ever-increasing, and international connectivity is critical for our economy."

The builders of the Hawaiki undersea cable and supply contractor have launched a marine route survey that will help set cable deployment in motion.
