NPS Roundtable Event
Light in the Void – Unlocking the Potential of Hollow Core Fibre
Thursday 26th Feb 2026 – 2:30pm for a 3pm start
This roundtable, hosted at the prestigious Eight Members Club near Bank Station and Royal Exchange, will explore the transformative potential of hollow core fibre (HCF) technology in next-generation communications, sensing, and quantum applications. Topics will include:
- Fundamentals & Fabrication: Advances in HCF design, materials, and manufacturing technique
- Performance & Comparison: How HCF outperforms traditional single-mode fibre in latency, bandwidth, and nonlinear effects
- Applications & Integration: From ultra-low latency data centre cross-connects to metro, regional and long-haul networks supporting AI, quantum, healthcare, and defence use cases
- Challenges & Roadmap: Technical hurdles, scalability, and commercialisation pathways
After the roundtable there will be networking drinks and canapés at the bar, and maybe a game of pool or two!
