Wuppertal, 27 January 2020 - Riedel Networks has optimized the round trip time (RTT) to Asia with its new network routes via the Russian and Kazakh mainland. An IP packet from Frankfurt to Tokyo and back now only takes 181 milliseconds instead of the previous 242 milliseconds. The transit time for data between Frankfurt and Hong Kong has also been reduced by a significant 27 milliseconds to 170 ms. The new mainland routes also further increase reliability.
By expanding its network connections, Riedel Networks is responding to the growing demand from global companies for fast and reliable transmission paths between their headquarters and Asian locations. Data-intensive sectors such as the financial markets or the manufacturing industry in particular will benefit from this.
In addition, Riedel Networks is also significantly optimizing RTT on its network route between Singapore and Sydney by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Switching the route to the INDIGO cable system, which was put into operation in 2019 and is co-financed by Google, will reduce the transit time from 288 to 265 milliseconds. As a result, companies gain capacity for VoIP services where an RTT of 300 milliseconds should not be exceeded for end-to-end connections.
"With our new network routes and the optimized round trip time, Asia and the rest of the world are moving closer together. I am delighted with the straightforward implementation and partnership-based cooperation with our suppliers," explains Christian Müller, Director Carrier Relations at Riedel Networks. "Capacity Asia in particular, the most important industry conference in the Asia-Pacific region, which took place in Macau this year instead of Hong Kong, showed how dynamically the Asian market is developing. We are very well positioned in Asia-Pacific and can provide our customers with expert support in networking with this region."
