The Amsterdam to Frankfurt Super Highway

Continuing our Super Highway development further into Europe, we have enhanced our long-haul network between Amsterdam and Frankfurt to deliver a new Super Highway. 

We’ve completely upgraded and optimised an existing route to deliver new fibre that increases capacity, reduced the number of ILA sites to improve performance and efficiency, and built new route diversity for our customers to avoid existing high-traffic areas in one of the busiest connectivity regions in Europe.

Key features

• A shorter long-haul fibre route from Amsterdam to Frankfurt.
• Redesigned with optimised and wider spacing between ILAs, reducing the number required from seven to five.
• Fewer ILA sites streamline construction resources and power required in service, delivering a more efficient end-to-end system.
• Fewer ILA sites across the system streamlines the resources and power required in service, delivering a more efficient end-to-end system.
• All ILA sites are newly built with highly efficient air conditioning, which uses less power for cooling, reducing the system’s carbon impact.
• The optimised long haul approach to the Amsterdam metro network in the south east avoids route congestion bound for Hamburg.
• Connected to our Düsseldorf metro at both the north and south, offering excellent route flexibility around the metro.
• Diversity has been enhanced to the euNetworks Frankfurt metro network, with a direct route into Sossenheim and direct approach to Hattersheim,  providing space for a direct Brussels to Frankfurt route without crossovers. 
• Direct connectivity to any of the 136+ data centres in euNetworks’ metro networks in Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Frankfurt along this Super Highway system, as well as seamlessly connecting to the other 406+ connected data centres across Europe.
