4th June 2025 – Zayo Europe has today announced the delivery of a 100G Wavelength network for fellow infrastructure provider GNM in just five working days.
The diverse network was built on Zayo Europe’s 800G-ready infrastructure, creating a low-latency and highly reliable route with a five working day delivery – an exceptionally fast turnaround for long-haul optical connectivity.
This new route enhances GNM’s European backbone and expands its presence in key regions. GNM supports a growing number of international clients, including Google, Vodafone, Telegram, and Roblox, which rely on stable and secure infrastructure across the continent.
Coming together to deliver this level of coverage ensures diverse, Pan-European connectivity options for businesses and data centres located outside of traditional connectivity hubs.
Alex Surkov, head of development at GNM, says: “Our focus is on constantly improving the diversity of our networks for our Pan-European client-base. This is exactly what this project with Zayo Europe does.. Since our networks operate in different regions, we see strong potential to complement each other’s coverage and will work closely to explore collaboration opportunities that bring value to both companies and our clients.
“Zayo Europe is also known for its excellent customer service, which speaks directly to our ethos. Knowing that the team is prepared to go above and beyond to ensure the highest level of performance was another key reason we selected the firm to drive our ongoing expansion.”
Colman Deegan, CEO of Zayo Europe, says: “With the constant increase in bandwidth required to power the AI revolution and the move towards 6G, providing low latency, high-speed networks to securely share data has arguably never been more important. This is why we’re so open to working collaboratively with our peers to ensure the highest quality connectivity across the continent.
“That GNM turned to us to deliver a 100G Wavelength route from Marseille to Amsterdam to drive connectivity for its vast client-base, is testament to the work that’s been put in by the Zayo Europe team over the years. We’re already in talks with the GNM team on future collaborative projects and look forward to where the future takes us.”
