News Synopsis

Microsoft has announced that it has acquired Lumenisity Limited, a pioneer in next-generation hollow core fiber (HCF) solutions.

The tech giant claimed in a blog post on Friday that Lumenisity's revolutionary and HCF product may enable quick, dependable, and secure networking for large, international organisations.

With the acquisition, Microsoft can enhance the effectiveness of its global cloud infrastructure and provide its Cloud Platform and Services customers with services that adhere to stringent latency and security standards.

The technology has applications in a variety of industries, including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, and government.

According to Girish Bablani, corporate vice president, Azure Core, Microsoft, "Organisations within these sectors could see significant benefit from HCF solutions as they rely on networks and data centres that require high-speed transactions, enhanced security, increased bandwidth and high-capacity communications,"

Because it can handle the size and volume of large data sets, HCF could enable providers to ingest, store, and share medical imaging data in the cloud, accelerating the retrieval of medical images in the healthcare industry.

HCF could also assist international financial institutions looking for quick, safe transactions over a vast area as the digital economy is growing.

In comparison to regular cable, it has a number of benefits, such as "higher overall speed and decreased latency as light passes through HCF 47% faster than standard silica glass" and  "enhanced security and intrusion detection due to Lumenisity's innovative inner structure".

Moreover, it offers"lower costs, increased bandwidth and enhanced network quality due to elimination of fibre nonlinearities and broader spectrum" and "potential for ultra-low signal loss enabling deployment over longer distances without repeaters."
