Google’s Grace Hopper subsea cable has landed at our Sopelana station, near Bilbao, as we announced at the end of last year, thanks to Telxius’ landing and colocation services. From there, this new system will connect to the resources and infrastructure offered by the Derio Communications Hub, also located near Bilbao, which will offer Google and its customers and users access to ultrahigh-quality colocation, capacity and IP services and will enable them to connect to the rest of Europe and across the world. This new milestone adds to other major projects in which we have also collaborated with Google, such as Dunant, Junior and Tannat.

Grace Hopper is an advanced subsea cabling system equipped with 16 fiber pairs that connects the United States with the United Kingdom and Spain. It is the first cable financed by Google to reach Spain and is named after the American computer and military scientist who is considered a pioneer in the world of programming.

“We are delighted to provide connection and colocation services to Grace Hopper as part of the ongoing collaboration between Google and Telxius,” stated Monica Martinez, Marketing Director, Telxius. Grace Hopper gains access to the advanced interconnection and transmission capabilities of Telxius’ Derio Communications Hub, which also features backhaul connections to Paris and Madrid. This unlocks new opportunities for companies connected to major international traffic hubs in Europe and beyond.”
