A bunch of international infrastructure news to catch up with before the weekend:
RETN has completed its new route between Stockholm and Helsinki across the Baltic Sea. The two Scandinavian capitals have been connected via just 450km of fiber with a 4.45ms roundtrip latency. The expansion adds diversity to the northern east-west reach of RETN’s pan-European footprint.
The JV between Web Werks and Iron Mountain has paved the way for new expansion plans in Mumbai. They have acquired land in Rabale, Navi Mumbai upon which they plan to build a third data center. If all goes well, MUM-3 will add 32MW of IT load and will go live in the second half of 2025, which is something over 2 years away yet.
