EuNetworks Partners With Crosslake Fiber To Deliver Low Latency London To Madrid Service

euNetworks has entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with Crosslake Fiber UK, allowing the former to offer ultra-low latency services exclusively between the UK and Madrid over the latter's CrossChannel fiber optic cable system. euNetworks has also agreed to a strategic relationship to use the system to sell its dark fiber services.
CrossChannel Fiber is a 550 km cable system with end-to-end fiber running between Slough, UK and Paris, France. The high fiber count, non-trunked system contains 96 fiber pairs, each capable of achieving capacity throughputs in excess of 20Tb/s. The route is designed with optimal spacing and attenuation/loss between amplifier sites, requiring only four sites compared to the seven to nine sites typically required for other routes. The reduced number of ILAs, combined with free air passive cooling at each in-line amplifier (ILA) site, is designed to achieve lower power consumption per bit and provide an optimized low carbon footprint network infrastructure.
We are excited to partner with Crosslake and to be able to offer our euTrade ultra-low latency solution based on CrossChannel Fiber exclusively to the financial sector," said Paula Cogan, CEO of euNetworks. CrossChannel is a new system that serves a critical connectivity route between the UK and continental Europe. Crosslake's new system from London to Paris is in line with our long-haul network growth strategy, providing a uniquely routed, next-generation, high-capacity infrastructure."
Mike Cunningham, CEO of Crosslake, added: "Our system offers a new and unique route from the northwest close to Paris, and is therefore different from the existing system. This is an important distinction from the market segments served by CrossChannel - wholesale carriers, data center operators, content, cloud and network service providers, hyperscale providers, government agencies, media and entertainment, and financial services. euNetworks is highly focused on providing high bandwidth services to these market segments. Their strong position and service performance in the demanding ultra-low latency market sets them apart, and we are excited to be working with them."
