Colt Technology Services (Colt), the global digital infrastructure company, today announced plans to launch new international routes connecting the US West Coast to Asia, marking the latest phase of its major global network expansion. This investment supports customers’ international growth strategies and includes a new transpacific subsea cable route linking the US and Japan. The expansion elevates Colt from it sposition as the largest European B2B fibre provider to one of the largest in the world, reinforcing its role as a key player in the global digital infrastructure market
The enhanced infrastructure will strengthen network resilience for organisations - including Colt’s financial services clients, neocloud companies and hyperscaler partners - by delivering secure, high‑performance back‑up and routing options formission‑critical applications.The news comes shortly after Colt announced an expansion and investment into new Colt routes connecting the East Coast of the US to Europe.
Colt’s extensive network investment directly addresses surging demand driven by AI traffic. The secure, powerful infrastructure will give customers greater choice of solutions, performance and cost, especially for busy transpacific routes already under pressure from rising traffic volumes. Congested networks mean lags, delays and service interruptions - expensive setbacks which stall progress.
As part of the investment, Colt will:
· Deliver a new transpacific backbone route through Juno - one of the world’s newest and most advanced subsea cable systems- connecting Tokyo, Japan to Los Angeles on the West Coast of the US
· Offer customers a new, diverse route, connecting Colt’s extensive terrestrial networks in Japan and the United States, providing greater resilience and higher bandwidth options.
· Provide greater resilience on transpacific services-making the services ideal for businesses with global operations across Asia and the US
· Expand its global digital footprint, extending its ‘on net’ capabilities. Colt can connect directly into multiple sites across Tokyo, with on‑net coverage throughout the city’s key metro data centres
Buddy Bayer, chief operating officer, Colt Technology Services said, “The world’s economies run on digital infrastructure, but there will come a point when existing capacity across some routes isn’t enough. This risks disrupting or even reversing the progress countries have made in connecting markets, organisations and societies.” He continues, “At Colt, we have a deep commitment to solving problems for our customers so they can grow and scale. This investment in our digital infrastructure connecting the US West Coast to Tokyo, Japan not only solves the capacity problem for our customers - it’s a gateway to global growth”.
