In June we provided notice that we were proceeding with the development of Auto-Switching Diversity, with a target launch date of 16 September 2024.

We would like to announce that Auto-Switching Diversity launched on 16 September 2024 as planned. 

Product Overview

Auto-Switching Diversity is an optional add-on feature that provides simple geographically diverse path redundancy for a Layer 1 lit fibre service between the service end points. It uses Optical Channel (“OCH”) protection, which provides redundancy of an individual optical channel. Each optical channel, carrying specific wavelengths of light, provides the transparent lit fibre service.

Auto-Switching Diversity is available on 100Gbps variants of the Chorus Relay Connect (CRC), Chorus Exchange Connect (CXC), and Chorus Data Centre Connect (CDCC) products, subject to feasibility.

Further information on Auto-Switching Diversity is available in each of the relevant product Service Descriptions:
