Bernacchi-1

Integrating seamlessly into the SMAP Network

Bernacchi-1 will connect to the SMAP network via a branching unit, delivering 60Tbps of capacity and completing the Australian hypercable system.

New capacity

Bernacchi-1 delivers 60Tbps of dedicated subsea capacity to Tasmania via a branching unit on the SMAP network - establishing the island state's first hyperscale-ready connectivity path, and the first new capacity in over 20 years.
