Q. 2020 has been a tumultuous arrangement to say the least. What has been for Telxius so far?
COVID-19 has posed demanding situations and unprecedented uncertainties on a global scale. As the first effects of the pandemic began to be felt globally, knowledge trafficking increased significantly. Without delay, we put in place measures to ensure the continuity of the centers while ensuring the protection of our customers, partners and workers. In addition to the top point of the security protocols we already had, we activated a global emergency plan. Face-to-face meetings and non-essential travel were limited. have become 100% remotely operational, with the exception of those that offer policy on critical services to maintain and perform some uninterrupted service.
This included our Netpaintings Operations Centers (NOCs), as well as the painters of our IP Service, Security and Capacity Centers, who took the mandatory steps to ensure some continuity of service to our customers. This totally virtual and unprecedented form of management, especially for a critical component of our business such as CONs, is the result and evidence of the exhaustive preparation paintings made previously to adequately respond to such unforeseen situations.
For example, you can see our March 2020 “Landing Station Resilience Capacity,” which highlights the widely evolved resilience plans that are in position throughout our facilities. Through this preparation, Telxius has maintained the service of our underwater cables and has ensured that Americans and businesses can access the Internet without interruption, ensuring the continuity of our customers. Therefore, we can say that in Telxius, we have effectively faced the challenge of a remarkable expansion in the call of ourArray
Q: The global pandemic has had an effect on businesses in many ways, adding a strong build-up in data demand. How did Telxius solve this problem?
As a result of the Covid-19 crisis, traffic on our underwater cables increased by an average of 55% until the end of June. To meet this expansion in demand, we increased the source of capacity in our underwater cables by 140%. compared to the same time last year, our groups had to get a 150% increase in the capacity of our IP ports in just one month, far beyond any capacity we had in the past provisioned in such a short time. Telxius, our groups have been able to build interconnections with content sources effectively and in record time, offering end consumers access to content, whether for entertainment and online work, which were essential during the pandemic. And surprisingly, all of this was done with 97% of our staff running remotely, adding our two Network Operations Centers (NOCs).
Q: Derio Communications Hub is an unbiased installation with interconnect capability Can you get percentage updates on the Hub?
Derio Communications Hub was developed to meet the developing demand for the newest generation of Array communications taking credit for the full capacity of marea underwater cable in Europe. It is an exclusive blend of an extensive cable contact station and a PoP, the first of its type in Spain, providing IP, capacity, co-location and security for global companies, operators, content providers or OTT.
The center of Derio is strategically located in Bilbao, Spain, a few kilometers from the TIDAL submarine cable contact point. MAREA is lately the lowest-than-expected, maximum-capacity underwater cable ever deployed between the United States and Europe through a diversified direction further south than other north Atlantic submarine cables. This, combined with a continuous expansion of vital new cables that can land in northern Spain, potentially to be loaded into Derio, indicates a new diversity of end-to-end opportunities at very maximum capacity.
Derio is a state-of-the-art, operator-neutral infrastructure designed with an open architecture to ensure that each and every operator, hyperscalator, cloud, and content provider can take advantage of Telxius’ advertising offering complex. it is rated as a 100 percent renewable energy construction with loose cooling, so it will meet the newest environmental standards, selling Telxius projects for the construction of sustainable practices in all our operations. preferably located to create new opportunities for organizations seeking to unite the United States to Europe and beyond.
Q: What are the plans for Derio backhaul connections?
The placement in Derio opens up a world of opportunities for interconnection with MAREA in the United States and with the main European centers. To fully maximize Derio’s reach, we are finalizing two direct backhaul connections directly to Paris and Madrid, taking advantage of the existing Telxius infrastructure and adding to the benefits of the MAREA subsea direction between Europe and the United States.
These new backhaul connections help Telxius’ European success expand MAREA’s functions to two key centres such as Madrid and Paris.
Q: Could you tell us about your agreement with Orange about the Dunant cable?
Telxius has partnered with Orange in the progression of terrestrial backhaul extensions in the United States and Europe for Dunant cable, a Google project. Orange and Telxius will offer co-location at their cable contact stations strategically located in Saint-Hilaire-de Riez and Virginia Beach. Telxius will link Orange to Ashburn from Virginia Beach, while Orange will allow a land link from its CLS from Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez to Telxius to Paris. These accessories, combined with our new Backhaul Paris – Derio, allow Telxius to successfully deliver network redundancy and very high end-to-end capability on the transatlantic strategic line between the US. America and Europe.
In addition, it confirms our commitment to providing the most productive to our partners and customers, providing the newest technology, varied routes and the most productive latency to satisfy the desires of content providers, global corporations and external operators.

Our new communications center in Derio, with its strategic location near MAREA CLS, makes this site the new gateway to Europe. MAREA and BRUSA are the lowest capacity in the world, lower capacity cables, which are offered directly to the world’s top applicable knowledge centers, adding the Ashburn region in the United States.
By 2021, Telxius will operate with 100,000 km of fiber optic cables. We will continue to expand our network in Dunant, bringing diversity and resilience to our transatlantic route. Junior and Tannat will also join our network, and we have a joint assignment with America M-vila to build a new cable in the Pacific from Guatemala to Chile.
