Secure fiber optic network
With digitalization and Big Data, the need for high-performance data networks is constantly increasing in Switzerland. DataHub Networks AG is therefore putting a new data highway into operation today. It is said to be the most modern optical fiber network in Switzerland, measuring over 2,000 km and offering 46 centrally located access points in all parts of the country. The network is based on the fiber optic network of SBB and other partners. SBB Telecom ensures maximum availability at all times, it says.
SBB's railroad lines not only transport people and goods, but also huge amounts of data thanks to the railroad's own fiber optic network. As of today DataHub Networks AG offers a wide range of data services for carriers, local operators and companies with high data transmission requirements on the fiber optic network of SBB and other partners, as it writes in its press release.
"We are delighted that we have been able to win DataHub Networks, a customer that has built its Switzerland-wide data network, consisting of data centers and direct data links, on the SBB fiber optic network," says Yves Zischek, Head of SBB Telecom. "SBB will do everything in its power to ensure that the data network technically operated for DataHub Networks is in no way inferior to our own high requirements in terms of availability."
"Real alternative for fast data connections"
"With coverage from Arbon to Geneva and from Basel to Lugano, the provider is a real alternative for fast data connections on the market," says CEO Adrian Roth. Thanks to the high availability guaranteed by SBB, it is possible to offer exclusive services on the Swiss big data highway. The new data network is ideal for customers who need true geo-redundancy, says Roth. The SBB infrastructure is completely independent of the usual fiber optic lines in highways and along power lines. For the last mile to the customer, DataHub Networks works with local partners.
Thanks to proactive monitoring and automated rerouting on all 96 colors, availability is ensured even in exceptional situations, according to DataHub Networks. In addition, the ring architecture, which connects all access points, offers maximum security.
