Summary:

• Frankfurt to Strasbourg makes up the latest route in euNetworks’ state-of-the-art Super Highway fibre system
• The route addresses demand in an increasingly busy corner of the FLAP-D region, which comprises of Europe’s largest data centre markets
• euNetworks’ Super Highway network is the only modern fibre network system live today that connects key data centres across FLAP-D

euNetworks has announced the delivery of its newest long-haul route, which spans between the key connectivity hubs of Frankfurt and Strasbourg.

The route is part of euNetworks’ state-of-the-art Super Highway fibre network, developed to address the increasing demand for AI and Cloud-ready connectivity infrastructure across the FLAP-D (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin) region. Built in response to increased traffic and demand on the path between the two cities, this route will connect Frankfurt, home to the world’s most interconnected metropolitan network, and Strasbourg, a key interconnection hub for long haul routes, with direct, diverse, low-latency infrastructure.

The route, which spans a total of 247km, is built with new, high-capacity fibre and delivers route diversity that avoids existing high traffic areas and increases resilience. It provides direct connectivity to 76+ data centres in euNetworks’ Frankfurt metropolitan network, alongside seamless connection to the company’s connected data centres across Europe, which total over 600.

Sustainability is a central factor to the development of all euNetworks’ Super Highway routes. Two out of the three ILA sites used on the Frankfurt-Strasbourg route are new, and have been built with highly efficient air conditioning that uses less power for cooling, reducing the system’s carbon impact. The new fibre types used deliver low attenuation, enabling improved line system and transponder performance to deliver lower cost per bit.

“euNetworks is relentless in our pursuit to address Europe’s accelerating demand for bandwidth, and we will continue to develop our state-of-the-art networks where our customers need it the most. This new Super Highway between Frankfurt and Strasbourg provides greater diversity and higher capacity in an increasingly busy corner of FLAP-D, with seamless connectivity into our extensive data centre footprint. I am incredibly proud of our team for their continued dedication to our Super Highways programme, which provides truly unparalleled long-haul connectivity options for our customers across Europe,” said Marisa Trisolino, CEO, euNetworks.

The completion of the Frankfurt to Strasbourg route marks the sixth Super Highway available for service. euNetworks’ Super Highway network is the only modern fibre system live today that connects key data centres across the FLAP-D region.
