euNetworks deploys Lumenisity® Limited CoreSmart® hollowcore fibre cable in London

First broad based carrier hollowcore fibre deployment to a trading venue, offering a live route more than 30% faster than existing fibre-based routes.

London, UK – 14 April 2021 – euNetworks Fiber UK Limited (“euNetworks”), a Western European bandwidth infrastructure company, has deployed their first ultra low latency CoreSmart® cable solution based on NANF® hollowcore fibres. Lumenisity® Limited (“Lumenisity”) supplied the CoreSmart® cable solution, with this new deployment now live between Interxion: A Digital Realty Company, and the London Stock Exchange. This is the first commercially available deployment of this technology in the world and is part of an agreement covering additional deployments over the coming years between trading venues and other locations.

Data travels 50% faster in hollowcore cable, reducing latency by 1/3, and providing a round trip saving of 3μs per km. These latency savings are very significant in financial trading applications. They can also be scaled to increase the separation of data centres by 50%, whilst maintaining the latency envelope, more than doubling the area of land in which these data centres can be located. With deployments in numerous private networks over the last three years, Lumenisity’s CoreSmart® is the lowest loss, broadest bandwidth hollowcore cable available commercially.

euNetworks leads the market in delivering fibre-based ultra low latency services throughout Europe. Its euTrade solution is a dedicated network platform supporting the bandwidth needs of the financial services community. The company continues to optimise routes between all the key trading exchanges in Europe to ensure delivery of the shortest paths and lowest latencies available in the market.

“We’re very pleased to partner with euNetworks to enable them to provide the lowest latency performance to a major trading exchange using our CoreSmart® cable,” said Tony Pearson, Business Development Director at Lumenisity. “We are excited to be collaborating with such an established Carrier and to already have hollowcore deployed, carrying traffic as part of this development.”

“We continue to focus on delivering lowest latency services for our customers. We focus on identifying new and innovative technologies that can be deployed on our network to provide the best possible bandwidth solutions,” said Brady Rafuse, Chief Executive Officer of euNetworks. “We’re excited to be working with Lumenisity, helping to develop and deploy hollowcore fibre. We’re confident that with this technology we can achieve market leading fibre-based latencies much closer to radio frequency systems, without the constraints that are inherently present with those radio frequency solutions.”
