European network-connectivity provider euNetworks Group Limited has built a diverse route from London to the NYSE Euronext data center in Basildon UK, supporting a growing connectivity requirement in the market.

The news follows the announcement in December 2012 of an euNetworks fibre route linking Basildon to Frankfurt. The company said it has leveraged this fibre route to support customer requests for a diverse route linking London to Basildon.

David Selby, VP of product and strategy at euNetworks, said Basildon was a critical trading location with growing importance to the financial community. “Diversity in this market is increasingly important as customers require both low latency and high availability to fulfill their network requirements,” he said.

The connectivity service is now live and supports customer bandwidth requirements from 100Mbps Ethernet through 10Gbps Wavelengths, the provider said.

EuNetworks owns and operates operates 13 fibre-based city networks across Western Europe. Its London metropolitan network enables customers to connect from their office building, a data center or exchange, through to NYSE Euronext with either Ethernet or Wavelengths services.

The new route combines euNetworks’ city-based bandwidth with its long-haul network platform.
