Introducing Chorus Data Centre Connect and Chorus Relay Connect Services
We are excited to announce the launch of Chorus Data Centre Connect (CDC) and Chorus Relay Connect (CRC) services.
With the demand for video and cloud-based services growing rapidly, enterprise customers are looking for secure, high speed and reliable data transport solutions.
Chorus Data Centre Connect will give you the ability to transport traffic from a selected data centre to a designated Chorus exchange. From there, the connection can be further extended to another data centre by using Chorus Relay Connect or another backhaul product.
Chorus Relay Connect transports traffic between Points of Interconnection and First Data Switches (for carrying copper traffic only) between two UFB Candidate Areas. It is a product you can use to build your national transport network connecting all of your Points of Interconnection.
Available to order from 5 May 2021
From 5 May 2021 you will be able to order Chorus Data Centre Connect or Chorus Relay Connect by contacting our Commercial Consulting team for a specific Chorus Customer Solution (CCS).
