UK fiber network company Geo Networks has significantly extended its infrastructure in West London.

The company has deployed a new route from the area to Staples Corner in North West London, in which several data center operators run, onward to the City and Docklands.

The vendor said benefits will include faster access to London data center sites as well as low latency for its new and existing customers.

The new route is 43km shorter than the existing routes typically used to London Docklands and offers additional connectivity to LDeX1 in North West London with onward connectivity to Slough, Manchester and other areas of the UK.

The company saw capacity “significantly” increase in 2013 on its 82km route between Reading and Swindon. The vendor said this enabled the transmission of multiple 100Gbps and provided each customer with their own scalable, dedicated fiber.

In July 2013 the company completed its deployment of a private optical fiber ring between Digital Realty’s Woking and Chessington sites, extending its network by 44.5km.

In October 2013 it deployed a 432 fiber count “express” cable running through London’s Victorian sewers between the City of London and Docklands Telehouses.

At the time it said this was to provide a more direct, lower latency route with benefits of simple, faster and more cost-effective provisioning.

Geo’s CEO Chris Smedley said the company added over 60km to its UK network and connected seven data centers.

“This year [2014] we are continuing to execute an aggressive network expansion programme to meet the growing needs of our existing customers and to strengthen our proposition to new clients,” Smedley said.
