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.
Super Highways are designed and built for an optimised carbon footprint.
Our use of the latest modern fibre types enables optimal, wider spacing between In-Line Amplifier sites (ILAs), reducing the number required on a route. In the case of our Frankfurt to Paris Super Highway, this meant that we reduced the number of ILA sites required from eleven to seven.
Fewer ILA sites streamlines the resources and power required both during construction and operation, delivering a more efficient end-to-end system.
ILAs on Super Highways are equipped with highly power-efficient cooling systems that constantly monitor and adjust air draw to use less power when cooling. This significantly reduces long-run power demands and makes Super Highways highly energy efficient, further reducing the route’s carbon footprint.
As well as this, our innovative Network Construction Carbon Tool calculates project level carbon emissions. This allows us to fully understand, manage and accurately report on the environmental impact of Super Highways and gives us the ability to alter designs to lower carbon impact. We can also provide carbon emissions data to our customers, associated with each euNetworks service, using our Carbon by Service Tool.
This helps us optimise the carbon impact of our Super Highways, and build Europe’s critical bandwidth infrastructure with sustainability in mind.
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.
