After the acquisition, the unprecedented daily volume of data and IP traffic now utilizing the route highlighted the fact that this network was in need of immediate and substantial upgrade. Customers were already beginning to experience quality of service issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">Interoute operates an Infinera optical network across that same route. The customer asked Interoute if it could provide 60 Gb\/s of connectivity, enough capacity to carry traffic approximately equivalent to 7.5 million simultaneous mobile phone calls. Interoute staff worked with urgency to meet this customer request and in just 48 hours the full 60 Gb\/s of new services were up and running. Most of this time was consumed in providing the additional connectivity from the customer\u2019s network to Interoute\u2019s Infinera network. The Infinera modules required for the additional capacity arrived at the sites in a matter of hours, and the Infinera system took just minutes to bring up the capacity, test it to confirm it was running error-free, and begin carrying customer traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"spip\">This is just the latest among a number of difficult connectivity crises that Interoute has been able to solve successfully for its customers. Interoute CEO Gareth Williams said that the speed of service delivery and the reliability of Interoute\u2019s Digital Optical Network has played an important role in helping Interoute become one of Europe\u2019s fastest growing telecom operators, with an outstanding reputation for service and quality. \u201cManaging to activate 60 Gb\/s of bandwidth in less than 48 hours has made us extremely proud and emphasized again the first-rate quality of our network, and especially our Infinera optical network, as well as the total dedication of our people,\u201d said Mr. Williams.
