In today’s digital era, connectivity is not a luxury but the backbone supporting businesses, communications, and technological progress. At the heart of this high-speed, reliable connectivity is fibre optic technology, which has revolutionised data transmission. Why is this technology essential, and what sets lyntia’s infrastructure apart?

Lyntia’s fibre optic network: a strategically oriented capillary infrastructure

What distinguishes lyntia is not just the use of fibre optics but the scale, capillarity and neutrality of its infrastructure. We are talking about a network that is much more than cables; it is a digital highway designed with a panoramic market vision and its needs in mind.

Lyntia boasts more than 64,000 km of deployed fibre optic cable, creating a mesh that connects strategic points across Spain and Portugal. This vast core and access network connects over 2,000 towns.

Our network not only covers the Iberian Peninsula but also interconnects with over 200 major data centres, in addition to landing points for submarine cables and networks from other national and international operators. This ensures diverse and redundant routes for data traffic.

Additionally, as a neutral operator, lyntia does not compete with its clients—whether they are operators, businesses or integrators. We offer our fibre optic infrastructure, including dark fibre and capacity and/or connectivity services, so that others can build their services on it, guaranteeing equitable and high-quality access.

Technology and performance: the difference is in the details

The physical infrastructure is only part of the equation. The technology implemented on lyntia’s fibre optic network guarantees superior performance:

Low latency:

The time it takes data to travel from one point to another is critical. lyntia’s network architecture is optimised to minimise latency, which is essential for real-time applications, financial services, cloud gaming and critical business operations.

Stability and reliability:

Our network is designed with high standards of redundancy and constant monitoring (24/7 from our NOC). This ensures maximum availability and minimises the risk of interruptions, offering a stable connection businesses can trust.

Guaranteed bandwidth:

Unlike many residential offerings, lyntia’s fibre optic services for businesses and operators typically come with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee specific and consistent bandwidth, both upload and download.

How does lyntia’s fibre optic network compare to other technologies? Where is it used?

– Fibre vs Copper (ADSL/VDSL): Fibre optic outperforms copper in all aspects: speeds orders of magnitude higher, symmetrical capacity (same upload and download speeds), lower latency and no degradation over distance from the exchange.

– Fibre vs Wireless Networks: Although mobile networks such as 4G, 5G and even satellite are rapidly advancing, dedicated fibre optic still offers greater stability, guaranteed capacity and lower latency. Wireless networks are more susceptible to interference, atmospheric conditions and congestion due to being a shared medium. Fibre provides a dedicated and protected channel.

Applications of fibre optics to help lead

Lyntia’s fibre optic network is the silent enabler of countless services and businesses. Large enterprises and complex organisations need robust, high-capacity connectivity for their headquarters, cloud services such as IaaS, SaaS or PaaS, virtual private networks, high-quality videoconferencing, and critical operations—services that lyntia’s fibre can effortlessly provide.

The same applies to data centres, which require ultra-low latency and very high bandwidth interconnections to connect servers, storage and enable massive traffic exchange. Of course, telecommunications operators using lyntia’s network can extend their own coverage, connect their nodes or antennas and offer end services to their clients without having to deploy infrastructure everywhere themselves.

The cutting edge of connectivity

Lyntia’s fibre optic network represents the cutting edge of connectivity. It is not just a collection of cables but an intelligent, extensive infrastructure managed to the highest quality standards. Its combination of geographic capillarity, connection to nerve centres, low latency technology, reliability and neutrality make it the ideal choice for businesses, data centres and operators seeking a solid and scalable foundation for their present and future communication needs. Fibre optic is the way forward, and lyntia paves it with excellence.
