Delivering over 1,000 km of state-of-the-art critical fibre infrastructure across the UK and Ireland, including the 224 km Rockabill subsea cable.
This Super Highway’s unique routing, new amplification stations, and new ultra low-loss fibre provides a modern alternative to other fibre systems in the region.
This Super Highway was rapidly delivered in a 9 month construction, serving customers from November 2019.
Just as impressive as the rapid physical construction of this Super Highway was the management and timing of its logistical and administrative elements.
From the bureaucratic requirements of multiple countries, governments, local authorities and permitting authorities, to organising the specialist vessels and equipment required for a subsea and terrestrial system.
This delivery combined the experience of our project management team with our community of expert construction partners to deliver a new state-of-the-art fibre system in 9 months.
Our subsea cable Scylla was laid using micro-routing – following sand wave contours on the sea bed to provide a deeper, more secure burial that naturally increases over time.
Our Super Highway subsea cable Rockabill was used as the location for cutting-edge quantum communication research in the Irish Sea.
We design uniqueness and diversity into our Super Highways, addressing the demand for new fibre connectivity between cities and data centres across Europe.
Our Super Highways aren’t constrained by the limitations of legacy fibre types. This gives us the ability to re-think how a long haul route is best designed.
