Infrastructure

The building blocks of global connectivity, explained. From the fibre in the street to the cables beneath the oceans.

Fibre Networks

The long-haul core that carries aggregated traffic between cities, regions and countries.

Fibre Networks

Unlit fibre strands leased to operators and enterprises that supply their own optical equipment.

Fibre Networks

The gold standard of fixed broadband: a continuous fibre connection all the way to the residence.

Fibre Networks

The broader umbrella term covering fibre delivered to homes and business premises alike.

Fibre Networks

How optical fibre carries the world’s data — from access networks in the street to the backbones that span continents.

How the pieces fit together — access, backbone, peering, subsea and compute — into a working internet.

The facilities that house compute and storage — now reshaped by power constraints and the AI build-out.

Neutral fabrics where networks peer to exchange traffic directly, cutting cost and latency.

Connectivity as urban infrastructure: sensors, 5G small cells, digital services and open data.

The submarine fibre systems that carry the overwhelming majority of intercontinental internet traffic.
