Arelion Completes 1,069km IP Transmission with Cisco 800G ZR+ Optics

📅 February 25, 2025 - Arelion has successfully completed a field test of Cisco 800G ZR+ Coherent pluggable optical modules in Cisco 8000 series routers powered by Cisco Silicon One on its long-haul route between Stockholm, Sweden, and Hamburg, Germany. IP transmission of 800 Gbps across 1,069 kilometers was shown in the study, offering more cost reductions than presently used technology.

Cisco 800G ZR+ pluggables would enable Arelion to fully exploit the port capacity of Cisco's next-generation routers while lowering CAPEX and OPEX expenses by 66% and 95%, respectively.

Cisco's 800G ZR+ coherent pluggable optical modules, which are compatible with OpenROADM and have a transmit power of +1 dBm, would simplify [...][... Check source for end of article ...]

📅 May 19, 2026 - AI Workloads Drive Arelion to Expand 400G Connectivity - Arelion is upgrading its AI-focused connectivity portfolio with higher-capacity 400G Ethernet services, reflecting a growing reality inside enterprise and hyperscale infrastructure: GPU clusters and distributed AI systems increasingly depend not only on compute, but on private, low-latency transport able to survive network disruptions without slowing operations.

The networking conversation around AI still leans heavily toward chips. NVIDIA supply. GPU density. Power constraints.

Less attention lands on what happens between those expensive compute clusters.

📅 Apr 20, 2026 - Arelion Upgrades Denmark Network For AI Traffic Surge - Arelion is expanding capacity at one of Denmark's quieter but increasingly important network hubs, upgrading its Nørre Nebel cable landing station as traffic patterns shift under the weight of AI workloads. The move comes as data center development accelerates across Jutland and Copenhagen, pulling more demand into a region already positioning itself as a northern European infrastructure corridor.

The upgrade is not a headline-grabbing build, but it sits at a point in the network where growth tends to concentrate. Cable landing stations do not scale in the same way as data centers, but when they fall behind, everything upstream feels it.

Nørre Nebel is being prepared for additional [...]
