The joint efforts of P&TLuxembourg, Datacenter Luxembourg and Inexio have achieved to develop this new connectivity platform that will distinguish Luxembourg as a unique and secure place for ICT companies, operators and e-commerce clients by establishing Luxemburg as a major European exchange point with large and reliable international connections.

    This redundant fiber-ring provides Luxembourg with a cutting edge Internet network giving the country the unique possibility to attract also bandwidth intense customers in the future.

    Inexio has been building a next generation optical Ethernet backbone with a capacity of up to 3.200 Gbit/s, about 1,6 million DSL subscriber lines in southwestern Germany, connecting Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken, Merzig, Saarlouis and Perl. Inexio Founder and CEO David A. Zimmer, says: "We found a great partner in P&TLuxembourg and TERALINK to extend our network to Luxembourg and offer our corporate customers high-bandwidth connections for data, Internet and storage applications".

    The benefits for Datacenter Luxembourg are significant. It will allow them to attract even more international e-commerces, as well as drive their entrance into the favorable markets of IPTV and Streaming. "This project is giving us the possibility to negotiate with prospects on the same level the way our competitors are doing it in Frankfurt, Paris or London, with the advantage of being in the foremost interesting e-commerce hub in Europe", explains Marco Houwen, Managing Director of Datacenter Luxembourg.

    TERALINK allows corporate customers as well as ICT and XSP firms to benefit from high international bandwidth connections to expand their own business activities which exactly reflects the spirit of TERALINK. This cooperation is considered "as a major step to speed up the place of Luxembourg as a key e-business platform in Europe" by Jean-Marie Spaus, Director of the Telecommunication Division of P&TLuxembourg.
