“The expansion of our network into South Korea highlights our continued investment in the Asia-Pacific region including Korea, and puts Colt in a unique position, given our strong presence in Europe and Asia, combined with the data centre infrastructure in Seoul with new POPs in four major Data Centers. This means that we’re well placed to help domestic companies in Korea who are looking to extend their reach globally, as well as multi-national companies entering the Korean market, with cost-competitive and reliable connectivity.”

Aimed at enterprise customers, it expands the intelligent Colt IQ Network, which already has 29,000 on-net buildings and over 1000 data centres across Europe, Asia and North America’s largest business hubs, and enables customers to expand their businesses globally with Colt.
