The fiber optic submarine telecommunications cable system GTT Express became ready for service around September 2015. The cable consists of 6 fiber pair(s) and has an initial estimated design capacity of 53 Tbps. The system has a length of 4600 Kilometers and is owned and/or operated by GTT.

GTT Express has landing points in United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada.

According to our database the system is currently ACTIVE. Our interactive database includes the status of most cable systems, but the status is provided as is and is based on reports from other internet resources.

The system has an ultra-low latency Corning EX2000 pure silica core fiber pair to achieve the sub-58.95ms transatlantic latency from New York to London. The Express Cable System is using a tiered approach for different latencies. Low Latency connections are directly connected to the EX2000 fibers. Higher latency connections are delayed. Since latency of light is time divided by distance, it’s assumed that these connections traverse the remaining fibers of which the length is extended. This system was realized due to the participation of Microsoft as a major capacity owner.
