Henox Plans Coastal Submarine Cable Connecting Five Indian Digital Infrastructure Hubs
Henox IT and Data Centers has announced Henox Crest, a proposed coastal submarine cable connecting Gujarat, Mangaluru, Kochi, Chennai and Visakhapatnam. The planned system will combine submarine fiber, terrestrial networks, edge data centers and compute infrastructure to support AI and cloud connectivity. Gujarat will serve as a western gateway toward the UAE, Middle East, Europe and Africa. At Visakhapatnam, the system is designed to interconnect with the SubConnex cable, providing onward connectivity toward Singapore, Malaysia and the US West Coast. Henox has appointed APTelecom as its strategic technical and commercial partner. The project remains in engineering validation and commercial development. Investment value, cable length, design capacity and commissioning dates have not been announced.
Colt Deploys Hollow-Core Fiber in London Network to Reduce Latency by 30%
Colt Technology Services, Network Planning Solutions and Relativity Networks have completed a live hollow-core fiber deployment connecting two Colt network locations in central London. The project uses Relativity Networks’ ChronoCore technology, with Network Planning Solutions responsible for installation, splicing, testing and validation. Unlike conventional optical fiber, which transmits light through glass, hollow-core fiber uses an air-filled core. The technology can reduce transmission latency by approximately 30 percent compared with conventional fiber. The deployment is now integrated into Colt’s operational infrastructure. Potential applications include hyperscale data-center interconnection, distributed AI computing, cloud connectivity and financial trading networks. Commercial customer deployment dates and project costs were not disclosed.
