EonFibre adds 400G Trans-Tasman capacity between New Zealand and Australia
New Zealand wholesale fibre provider EonFibre has lifted its Trans-Tasman offering to 400G, targeting data centre, cloud, hyperscaler and carrier customers. The company said the service is available from November 2026.
EonFibre, a New Zealand bandwidth infrastructure specialist, can now supply 400G links between New Zealand and Australia after expanding its Trans-Tasman network. The company said customers can take the service from November 2026, with each circuit engineered around the customer's location, capacity, resilience and routing needs.
EonFibre is pitching it at organisations shifting growing volumes of data across the Tasman, among them data centre operators, hyperscalers, cloud providers, carriers and enterprises with AI and other data-heavy workloads. The new transport capacity ties into the company's national fibre footprint.
On the build side, EonFibre installed new optical equipment and extra terrestrial transport that carries traffic from international infrastructure into its New Zealand network. The work included installation, commissioning and end-to-end testing along the international and domestic path. The 400G option is offered next to EonFibre's existing international bandwidth services, and reaches New Zealand sites and data centres as well as key interconnection locations in Australia as a single integrated product.
EonFibre chief executive Richard Mooney said international bandwidth is taking on a larger role in New Zealand's digital infrastructure. Mooney said the investment gives EonFibre "significantly more capability across the Tasman and enables us to deliver 400G connectivity, putting us in a strong position to meet future demand as it grows". He also said, "New Zealand is a great option for those looking to build data centres and take advantage of the opportunities AI is creating".
Reseller News reported that the capability complements DC Direct and Zone Direct, which launched in October, along with the FlexWave optical service. EonFibre describes FlexWave as dedicated wavelength connectivity inside New Zealand and to overseas locations.
EonFibre runs more than 11,000 km of fibre, including metro rings in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch, and connects to more than 30 data centres and exchange sites. It is a co-owner of the Tasman Global Access submarine cable and supplies international capacity to Australia and the United States. Pricing and customer onboarding timelines were not stated.
