Five times faster access from the Sunshine Coast via the RTI wet (subsea) cable to Sydney than the existing land (terrestrial) link between Queensland and Sydney.
Enables low-latency solutions from the Data Centre: remote equipment control, high volume trading platforms, amazing customer experiences.
Queensland businesses will, for the first time, be able to bypass Sydney and connect direct internationally. This will provide business with a range of new opportunities that come with increased speed and diversity.
This connectivity will give major data-intensive companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft the opportunity to revisit the benefits of where they locate their Australian investments.
The project includes a 550 kilometre undersea fibre optic cable that will connect the Sunshine Coast to the 9,600 kilometre Japan-Guam-Australia-South (JGA-S) submarine cable.
