Over the last 12 months, the company has had a strong focus on tailor-made routes and innovative technologies which ensure low latency and multiple connection options in Tampnet's network - especially between Norway and the UK.
Tampnet Carrier has opened its network for international data traffic and enabled enormous traffic growth.
”Growth in the last year is due to our three landing points and the multiple connection options we offer. In addition, Tampnet is launching a completely new connection from Egersund to the UK, opening on 15th December,” said Cato Lammenes, general manager of Tampnet Carrier.
“When this opens, it will enable further growth in data transport and we already have several large well-known international customers, both so-called "Hyperscalers" and data centres, waiting to use this connection.”
According to TeleGeography's global bandwidth analysis, international capacity use in Norway in 2019 was 7Tbps. Tampnet Carrier now facilitates approximately 3Tbps, which at the end of 2020 is expected to reach 10Tbps.
In particular, the many new data centres in Norway benefit from the connectivity which Tampnet Carrier delivers. Tampnet Carrier also offers more tailor-made routes with low and ultra-low latency both in and outside the Nordic Region.
”Another reason for our very impressive growth is the human element at Tampnet. We are an organisation with very high technical competence at the same time as being of a size which makes us very flexible and gives us the ability to quickly carry out and deliver complex projects. Central to our high uptime is our customer service (Network Operations Centre) with highly technically skilled first-line support available 24/7,” added Lammenes.
In August, Tampnet entered into an agreement to acquire a 1,200km subsea cable system in the Gulf of Mexico from BP Exploration & Production Inc (BP).
