Company adds further value, both in terms of increased network diversity and improved latency, for its IP Transit and Ethernet customers.

Tinet, a global carrier exclusively committed to the IP and Ethernet wholesale market, today announced the addition of a new terrestrial route to its backbone between Hong Kong and Europe. The company says that the new low latency route runs over the Transit Europe-Asia (TEA) cable system, extending over a terrestrial path from Stockholm, Sweden, across Russia and China, and into Hong Kong.

It articulates that the company, formerly the carrier arm of Tiscali Group, has network presence and customers in EMEA, Americas and APAC, and provides global IP transit and Ethernet connectivity to service and content providers, and carriers, within seven working days. It also guarantees customers proactive management of service level agreements and protection from DDoS attacks.

"Tinet's acquisition of the capacity on the TEA systems adds further value, both in terms of increased network diversity and improved latency for our IP Transit and Ethernet customers, particularly those who run time-sensitive applications," remarks Paolo Susnik, CEO of Tinet. "The route is indicative of Tinet's continued focus on the needs of our wholesale customers who engage in carrier solutions to the financial trading markets, VoIP and other time sensitive applications."
