Colt and Getlink have signed an agreement to install and operate a new fibre optic network through the Channel Tunnel.

Colt will install its IQ network, allowing a transfer capacity of several terabits per second per fibre pair. Colt will also carry out the entire operation of the IQ network in accordance with the Channel Tunnel’s safety and security regulations, while Getlink will be responsible for maintenance. (ben)
