Lightstorm has strengthened its subsea and terrestrial network, including operations in India, through the acquisition of assets from RTI Cables.
While financial details of the deal were not disclosed, the acquisition extends Lightstorm’s connectivity reach to over 250 data centres across 14 countries and increases its network capacity to 1,500 tera-bits per second (Tbps).
RTI Cables operates 21,000 km of subsea cable systems, including a 9,700 km Tokyo-to-Sydney route and a 14,500 km Australia-to-US route via Guam and Hawaii.
Further, the expansion, through a strategic partner network, also brings in the only direct Singapore-to-US route bypassing the South China Sea, offering improved security and resilience for global enterprises.
