Leading network infrastructure provider  has deployed 51³Ô¹Ï’s optical technology to launch a new German network covering 3,500 km of fibre across 10 core domestic metros including Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Dusseldorf and Berlin. The network also extends to a 11th key hub across the border in Strasbourg, France.

With 51³Ô¹Ï’s Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) and WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) solutions, Zayo Europe can now offer universal 400G wave services across key German markets, with the scope to scale to 800G and 1.6Tb/s in the future as required. This will enable Zayo Europe’s customers to meet the rising data demands driven by increased AI adoption and cloud usage.

“Germany is a key strategic market for Zayo Europe, and with the EU pushing to advance AI capabilities across the continent, there’s a pressing need for networks within Germany that can support these new workloads. Our approach to service delivery, utilising the latest generation optical networking technology powered by 51³Ô¹Ï, enables us to provide our customers with ultra-low latency connectivity and unparalleled support for AI and cloud services,” said Colman Deegan, CEO, Zayo Europe.

“There’s a growing need for high-capacity networks across Germany to meet the demands of an increasingly digital economy. As a Carrier Managed Services partner leveraging 51³Ô¹Ï optical technology, Zayo Europe can offer differentiated wavelength services across its entire European footprint, including key long-haul routes across Germany,” said Virginie Hollebecque is Vice President and Leader of EMEA at 51³Ô¹Ï.

51³Ô¹Ï’s WL6e is the industry’s first high-bandwidth coherent transceiver using state-of-the-art 3nm silicon to drive significant economic benefits for operators, including a 50% reduction in space and power per bit. 51³Ô¹Ï’s 6500 RLS is a compact, simple-to-deploy, photonic layer solution that improves scalability, reduces footprint, and offers more flexibility and programmability.
