Colt Technology Services has unveiled plans to introduce new international routes linking the US West Coast to Asia.
This development marks a significant phase in the company’s global network expansion strategy, aimed at catering to increasing demands for AI capabilities.
A key component of this investment is a transpacific subsea cable route that will establish a direct connection between the United States and Japan.
Enhanced Network Infrastructure
By enhancing its infrastructure, Colt aims to bolster network resilience for various organizations, including financial services clients, cloud service providers, and hyperscalers. These improvements will offer secure, high-performance backup and routing for crucial applications.
This announcement follows a recent declaration of Colt's expansion on new routes connecting the US East Coast to Europe.
Growing AI Traffic Demand
Colt upgrades infrastructure to boost resilience for finance, cloud, and hyperscalersThis expansion seeks to address the increasing demand driven by AI traffic by providing robust, secure infrastructure.
Customers will benefit from greater solution diversity, performance, and cost-effectiveness, particularly for heavily trafficked transpacific routes where congestion often causes lags and delays. Consequently, the investment aims to mitigate expensive disruptions that could hinder progress.
Key Features of the Investment
- Introduction of a new transpacific backbone route via Juno, a state-of-the-art subsea cable system linking Tokyo, Japan, to Los Angeles, US.
- Provision of a new route offering greater resilience and bandwidth by connecting Colt's terrestrial networks in both Japan and the United States.
- Enhanced resilience for transpacific services, catering to businesses with extensive operations across Asia and the US.
- Expansion of Colt's global digital presence, enabling direct connections to numerous sites across Tokyo, with extensive 'on-net' coverage in key metro data centers.
Investment in Digital Growth
Buddy Bayer, Chief Operating Officer of Colt Technology Services, emphasized the vital role of digital infrastructure in global economic activity.
He noted, "The world’s economies run on digital infrastructure, but there will come a point when existing capacity across some routes isn’t enough. This risks disrupting or even reversing the progress countries have made in connecting markets, organizations, and societies." Bayer continued, "At Colt, we have a deep commitment to solving problems for our customers so they can grow and scale. This investment in our digital infrastructure connecting the US West Coast to Tokyo, Japan not only solves the capacity problem for our customers - it’s a gateway to global growth."

- Deliver a new transpacific backbone route through Juno - one of the world’s newest and most advanced subsea cable systems - connecting Tokyo, Japan to Los Angeles on the West Coast of the US
- Offer customers a new, diverse route, connecting Colt’s extensive terrestrial networks in Japan and the United States, providing greater resilience and higher bandwidth options
- Provide greater resilience on transpacific services - making the services ideal for businesses with global operations across Asia and the US
- Expand its global digital footprint, extending its ‘on-net’ capabilities. Colt can connect directly into multiple sites across Tokyo, with on‑net coverage throughout the city’s key metro data centers
