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.
For our customers, diversity is critical. Amsterdam and Frankfurt are part of the FLAP connectivity region (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, and Paris), where data transfer and internet traffic remain the highest in Europe. Routes between these locations traditionally follow standard pathways, meaning bottlenecks, congestion, and shared approaches into and out of cities.
Super Highways are designed to avoid common capacity bottlenecks and known regional congestion. They offer new approaches to cities and metro networks whilst remaining the most direct route possible.
Our Super Highway between Amsterdam and Frankfurt is uniquely routed to avoid congestion on approach to each city. It also offers two geographically diverse approaches to Frankfurt and connects to our Düsseldorf metro at north and south points.
This delivers new, alternative route diversity for businesses between Amsterdam and Frankfurt, allowing them to improve the resilience of their networks
Our innovative use of modern fibre types on Super Highways allows us to push the boundaries of long haul network design.
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.
