MOX Networks, LLC ("MOX"), a leading fiber-optic network specialist, is excited to announce its acquisition of spectrum from Google on the Transpacific Topaz subsea cable system, the first-ever fiber cable to connect Canada and Asia. The new cable path combined with MOX's network infrastructure portfolio will bring new wholesale capacity to customers seeking secure, diverse paths between Japan and North America.

Topaz boasts 16-fiber pairs, delivers a total capacity of 240Tbps, and features Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) technology, a software-defined spectrum slicing capability on an optical fiber pair for flexibility in routing and enhanced resilience. The Eastern end of the cable begins in Vancouver and connects to the prefectures of Mie and Ibaraki in Japan.

MOX is a commercial provider of wholesale bandwidth solutions from Vancouver, Westward to Tokyo, and South down to Seattle. Offering up to 400G Wavelengths and dark fiber channels over a multi-terabit network, MOX is poised to provide connectivity to the data hubs on both ends of the subsea network via highly dense cables and systems that fully serve the Americas and Japan. The MOX network spans over 16,000km with submarine and terrestrial fiber, including access to the latest next-generation subsea system, Topaz.
