The route is the sixth to go live on euNetworks’ Super Highway network, which the company says is the only modern fibre system currently connecting key data centres across the FLAP-D region Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin.

Built in response to growing traffic pressure on the Frankfurt-Strasbourg path, the new infrastructure uses high-capacity fibre routed to avoid existing congested corridors, delivering diversity and low latency between two of continental Europe’s most significant connectivity hubs.

Frankfurt hosts what euNetworks describes as the world’s most interconnected metropolitan network; Strasbourg functions as a critical junction for long-haul routes across the region.

The route provides direct access to more than 76 data centres within euNetworks’ Frankfurt metropolitan network and seamless onward connectivity to the company’s wider European footprint of over 600 connected data centre hubs.

Sustainability was built into the design. Two of the three inline amplifier sites on the route are new builds, fitted with energy-efficient cooling systems to reduce power consumption. The fibre specification, chosen for low attenuation, improves line system and transponder performance, lowering cost per bit across the system.

Marisa Trisolino, CEO of euNetworks, said the company would “continue to develop our state-of-the-art networks where our customers need it the most,” adding that the Frankfurt-Strasbourg route “provides greater diversity and higher capacity in an increasingly busy corner of FLAP-D, with seamless connectivity into our extensive data centre footprint.”

euNetworks owns and operates 18 metropolitan city networks connected by a high-capacity intercity backbone spanning 53 cities across 17 countries. The Super Highway programme represents the company’s long-haul layer, designed to carry the bandwidth volumes that AI adoption and cloud migration are driving across European infrastructure.
