Re-imagining long haul network design

euNetworks’ 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. It allows us to push boundaries and deliver higher levels of efficiency as well as high performance.

The modern fibre types used on Super Highways have advanced characteristics. Specifically (ultra) low loss and bend insensitive. These characteristics enable us to design routes with wider distances between amplification sites, and the fibre delivers high photonic performance with low attenuation levels (typically a measured loss of 0.20db/km or lower).

Wider distances between amplification sites means:

• Improved performance – fewer sites means less noise from amps, further improving photonic performance (OSNR) which enables a higher transponder performance.
• Efficient construction and operation – fewer sites means fewer resources used in delivery and more streamlined use of resources and power in service.
• An optimised carbon footprint – all sites are newly-built, with highly efficient air conditioning that significantly reduces long-run power demands by constantly monitoring and adjusting air draw to use less power when cooling. This reduces our carbon footprint.

Efficiency meets…more efficiency.

In addition to optimised placement, the amplification sites are a containerised, modular design that’s scalable, secure and includes backup power supplies for resilience. 

This new fibre infrastructure is built to last, supporting the bandwidth demands from customers today and the demands that technology such as Generative AI and Machine Learning will drive in the future.
