Our next-generation network – 400G

In a digitalized world, data is the lifeblood for everyone. We are continuously investing in the future of our fiber optic network. Our next evolutionary step: upgrading to 400G technology.

The next step towards an even better network: PFALZKOM upgrades to 400G

In a digitalized world, data is the lifeblood of businesses. The demand for fast, reliable, and powerful networks is growing every day. To not only keep up with this development, but to stay one step ahead, we at PFALZKOM are continuously investing in the future of our fiber optic network. We are now announcing the next evolutionary step: the expansion of our network backbone to 400G technology.

What does this mean for you as a customer?

This technological upgrade is much more than just a number—it is our promise for a more powerful and stable digital future. The benefits are immediately apparent:

  • Enormous bandwidths: With a data transfer rate of 400 Gbit/s, we are quadrupling our previous capacity. This means that even with exponentially increasing data volumes, we can easily provide you with the bandwidth your company needs for cloud applications, data transfer, and demanding digital processes.
  • An network even more robust: 400G technology not only increases speed, but also the stability of the entire network. State-of-the-art technology and intelligent network management make our infrastructure more resistant to disruptions and peak loads.
  • Faster provisioning: Thanks to optimized technology and higher basic capacity, we will be able to implement new connections even faster for you in the future, whether for networking your locations or for our “Professional Internet” access.
  • Maximum reliability: A strong network is a secure network. The 400G upgrade strengthens redundancies and ensures even higher availability for your critical connections.

Example illustration: The elimination of transponders reduces the number of devices installed. This increases the potentially achievable availability (second illustration).

The technology behind it – how does 400G work?

To achieve such a massive increase in transmission capacity, we are relying on two key technological innovations. Think of our fiber optic network as a highway for data.

  • A broader frequency spectrum: We are essentially widening the data highway. By using a larger frequency spectrum of light (up to 120 GHz per channel), we can create wide-ranging “lanes” for data transport and significantly increase capacity utilization.
  • More efficient modulation: At the same time, we ensure that each individual “vehicle” on this highway transports more cargo. Using advanced modulation techniques such as 16QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), we can “pack” significantly more data bits into a single light wave than before. This requires extremely clean and precise signals, a quality that our high-quality fiber optic network guarantees.

The perfect interplay between these two methods allows us to fully exploit the potential of current electronics and achieve a data throughput of 400 Gbit/s per wavelength.

Ready for the future – with PFALZKOM

The move to 400G is the logical conclusion of our commitment to being a technology leader. This technology is now ready for the market, and we are using it to equip our network not only for today’s requirements, but also for tomorrow’s challenges.

With this expansion, we are continuing to position our network at the forefront of the competition and securing a decisive location advantage for you as a customer.
