euNetworks Fibre UK Limited ( euNetworks ), a Western European bandwidth infrastructure company , has deployed a new ultra-low latency route between Basildon and London in the UK that connects the ICE data centre to Interxion LON1 & 2 : A Digital Realty Company , and onwards to Slough . These are critical locations for financial markets . The new route is over 45km long and includes 14km of ultra-low latency CoreSmart cable . Lumenisity Limited ( Lumenisity ) supplied the award-winning CoreSmart cable , which is based on NANF hollowcore technology to enable transmission over long distances and is compatible with regular single-mode fibre – both major constraints on other hollowcore fibre architectures .
The route is the longest commercial deployment of hollowcore fibre technology to date and its use is exclusive to euNetworks and its customers . It is also the first commercial construction of a long-distance hybrid route of hollowcore fibre and regular single-mode fibre .

Offering euNetworks ’ dedicated network platform euTrade , at bandwidths between 1G and 10G , this hybrid route is 10 % faster than an equivalent all single-mode fibre cable . It ’ s the third deployment for euNetworks following successful deliveries of the first hollowcore fibrebased commercial route in April 2021 and the second in March earlier this year .
“ We have successfully delivered increasingly longer deployments of hollowcore fibre in our network , becoming the first fibre provider in the world to utilise the benefits of this new fibre technology in commercial markets ,” said Paula Cogan , President of euNetworks . “ From the initial 1km pilot , the teams have gone on to deploy hollowcore cable lengths of 7km and 14km on our network , as well as successfully blending hollowcore fibre with regular single mode fibre on this latest route .
“ We continue to be focused on delivering the best possible bandwidth solutions for our customers and look forward to deploying longer routes with Lumenisity in the coming quarters . Leading the market in fibre-based ultra-low latency

Data travels 50 % faster in hollowcore cable , reducing latency by 33 % and providing a round trip saving of 3μs ( three microseconds ) per kilometre . These latency savings are hugely significant in financial trading applications . They can also be scaled to increase the separation of data centres by 50 %, while maintaining the latency envelope , more than doubling the area of land in which these data centres can be located .
euNetworks ’ 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 and is supporting major exchange moves this year . This focus ensures delivery of the shortest paths and lowest latencies available in the market . �
