[![Hibernia](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Hibernia Atlantic")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Fiber-in-Ireland.png)It was literally one year today that Hibernia Atlantic, JS&A and members of the local media gathered in Portrush, one of the most northern towns on the tip of Northern Ireland. We were there to welcome Hibernia Atlantic’s next-generation, high capacity TransAtlantic cable that was literally being pulled ashore at Portrush to connect Northern Ireland to North America. As per the telecom headlines, this new, modern cable network is indeed news worthy - as it adds additional and much needed capacity to support local and global companies. The transAtlantic pipe will connect 13 local towns and connect through to Dublin and Europe as well.[![GFN](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "NIrelandMaps5-09_001-1")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/NIrelandMaps5-09_001-11.jpg) The additional connectivity will allow businesses to increase their communications and next-gen Internet service offerings as well as increase their access to a larger marketplace of available service providers. Visit [www.hiberniaatlantic.com](http://www.hiberniaatlantic.com) for more. This weekend, Portrush got another spotlight cast upon the town as Graeme McDowell, a 30-year old pro golfer from Portrush, won the 110th US Open in Pebble Beach. [![Graeme McDowell of Northern Irelan](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "GOLF-OPEN")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/GOLF-OPEN1.jpg)A Northern Islander has never won this golf championship and in fact, McDowell is the first European in 40 years to capture the U.S. Open title. And as per [WorldGolf.com](http://www.worldgolf.com/newswire/browse/63408-Brandon-Tucker-Salute-Graeme-McDowells-US-Open-win-golf-vacation-Portrush-Northern-Irel), this recent exposure is calling the town of Portrush “a can’t-miss stop on your next Northern Ireland golf vacation.” So congrats to Mr. McDowell and all the folks in the lovely town of Portrush. Here’s to a town that continues to make global headlines- and continues to serve as a connection point for North America and Europe.
