HOW D9 IS INVESTING IN DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
“ The greater the demand for the internet , the greater the demand for the infrastructure to support it ,” claims D9 Infrastructure which has invested in Aqua Comms . The company targets sustainable income and capital growth by investing in the following :
• Subsea fibre-optic networks
• Data centres
• Terrestrial fibre-optic networks
• Wireless networks
D9 raised more than US $ 400 million after a successful IPO – the trust started trading in March 2021 and has already raised more than US $ 1 billion . Originally Aqua Comms and Ontix had a common shareholder in the form of Aqua Ventures Ltd ( AVL ) until April 1 , 2021 .
The third part of D9 focuses on data centres . The company has just acquired Icelandic-based Verne Global which is 100 % powered by renewable energy from geothermal power plants . “ These three building blocks of radio distribution , fibre distribution and data centres form the backbone of D9 ,” said Nigel Bayliff , Chief Executive Officer at Aqua Comms . “ We have already deployed US $ 600m in Aqua Comms and Verne Global .”
