We’re excited to announce that Network Planning Solutions (NPS) has partnered with Infonas W.L.L., a leading global provider of carrier-neutral connectivity and data solutions. Together, we’ll be introducing Hollow Core Fibre (HCF) technology to the Middle East, a major step forward that will bring new levels of performance to regional data centres, financial markets, and fibre infrastructure providers.
Why Hollow Core Fibre Matters
Unlike traditional single-mode fibre, Hollow Core Fibre transmits light through air, dramatically reducing latency and improving signal integrity. The benefits include:
• Ultra-Low Latency: Speeds up data transmission by up to 30% compared to standard fibre, critical for AI model training, real-time analytics, and financial trading.
• Enhanced Security: Future-proofed for quantum encryption and resilient against interception, making it ideal for secure government, defence, and enterprise communications.
• High Bandwidth & Capacity: Enables faster scaling for data-intensive industries such as hyperscale cloud, fintech, and AI/ML platforms.
• Resilience in Harsh Environments: Designed for long-haul, metro, and data centre interconnects where both speed and reliability are mission-critical.
Use Cases Across Industries
• Data Centres: Improve inter-DC latency, boosting efficiency of AI workloads and hyperscale cloud services.
• Fibre Infrastructure Providers: Enhance backbone networks with future-ready fibre that can scale alongside exponential data growth.
• Financial Markets: Enable ultra-fast, secure trading and real-time settlement—where every microsecond counts.
• Enterprise & Government: Support advanced AI adoption, quantum-secure communications, and critical national infrastructure resilience.
“The Middle East is entering a new era of digital acceleration, and Hollow Core Fibrewill be at the heart of it,” said Robert Rees, Chief Revenue Officer of Infonas. “This partnership with NPS ensures the region is equipped with the world’s most advanced fibre technology, enabling AI, secure communications, and high-performance applications across sectors.”
Joe Dickenson Co-Founder of Network Planning Solutions added: “We are delighted to collaborate with Infonas to bring HCF technology into the Middle East. By combining NPS’s expertise in large-scale fibre deployment with Infonas’s regional reach and carrier-neutral infrastructure, we can deliver next-generation connectivity that will underpin the region’s ambitions in AI, fintech, and beyond.”
Infonas is a global telecommunications service provider headquartered in Bahrain, delivering secure, carrier-neutral connectivity across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
