The Frankfurt to Paris Super Highway

This new route continues the delivery of the state-of-the art Super Highway fibre networks across the critical FLAP-D region (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin) – Europe’s largest data centre markets.

The Frankfurt to Paris Super Highway provides a shorter, more direct route between the cities, delivering enhanced network diversity and reduced latency, with scalable modern fibre availability.

It’s a Super Highway delivering a shorter and more direct path between Frankfurt and Paris, unique in its routing, innovative in design and build and brings substantial new data centre to data centre fibre capacity to market.

Key features

• A more direct route 20% shorter than traditional routes passing via Strasbourg, resulting in a significant reduction in latency, a critical factor in high-speed data transfer.
• Enhanced network diversity that avoids bottlenecks approaching both Paris and Frankfurt. The route bypasses traffic from Paris bound for Marseille and Brussels, and existing Frankfurt routes through the Rhine Valley, which serve Zurich, Milan, and Vienna. This ensures greater route diversity and reliability.
• The combination of low-loss fibre and a shorter route has enhanced network performance and efficiency. This allows for higher bandwidth per fibre pair and higher modulations on transponders, resulting in highly efficient Super Channels.
• The latest modern fibre types enable optimal spacing between In-Line Amplifier sites (ILAs), reducing the number of sites required from eleven to seven. This streamlined the network build and reduced power consumption both during construction and now in operation.
• The new ILAs are equipped with highly power-efficient cooling systems, significantly cutting long-term power demands and further reducing the route’s carbon footprint.
• A high fibre count system providing 27Tbps of capacity per fibre pair on the C-Band, with a further 27Tbps available on the L-Band, providing scalable growth for future bandwidth demands.
• Direct connectivity to any of the 100+ data centres in euNetworks’ metro networks in Paris and Frankfurt, as well as seamlessly connecting to the other 445+ connected data centres across Europe.
