Microsoft hnub no tshaj tawm uas nws tau txais Lumenisity, lub UK-based startup tsim "hollow core fiber (HCF)" technologies feem ntau rau cov chaw zov me nyuam thiab ISPs. Microsoft hais tias qhov kev yuav khoom, cov ntsiab lus uas tsis tau tshaj tawm, yuav "nthuav dav [nws] lub peev xwm los txhim kho nws cov kev lag luam huab thoob ntiaj teb" thiab "ua haujlwm rau Microsoft lub huab platform thiab cov kev pabcuam cov neeg siv khoom nrog nruj latency thiab kev ruaj ntseg yuav tsum."
HCF cables hauv paus ua ke optical fiber ntau thiab coaxial cable. Lawv tau nyob ib puag ncig txij li xyoo 90s, tab sis qhov Lumenisity coj los rau hauv lub rooj yog ib qho kev tsim tshwj xeeb nrog rau qhov chaw nruab nrab cua uas nyob ib puag ncig los ntawm lub nplhaib ntawm cov iav raj. Lub tswv yim yog tias lub teeb tuaj yeem taug kev nrawm dua ntawm huab cua dua li iav; Hauv kev sim nrog Comcast thaum lub Plaub Hlis, ib qho kev sib tw ntawm Lumenisity HCF tau tshaj tawm tias tuaj yeem xa cov nqi tsheb khiav los ntawm 10 Gbps mus rau 400 Gbps.
Girish Bablani, CVP ntawm Microsoft's Azure Core kev lag luam, tau sau rau hauv ib qho blog post. "Rau pej xeem kev lag luam, HCF tuaj yeem muab kev ruaj ntseg thiab kev nkag mus rau kev nkag mus rau tsoomfwv thiab tsoomfwv hauv nroog thoob plaws ntiaj teb. Hauv kev kho mob, vim tias HCF tuaj yeem ua raws li qhov loj thiab ntim ntawm cov ntaub ntawv loj, nws tuaj yeem pab ua kom cov duab kho mob rov qab tau zoo, ua kom cov kws kho mob muaj peev xwm noj tau, mob siab rau thiab qhia cov ntaub ntawv kho mob hauv huab. Thiab nrog kev nce ntawm kev lag luam digital, HCF tuaj yeem pab cov tuam txhab nyiaj txiag thoob ntiaj teb nrhiav kev nrawm, ruaj ntseg kev lag luam thoob plaws thaj chaw dav. "

Lumenisity tau tsim muaj nyob rau hauv 2017 raws li ib tug spinoff los ntawm Optoelectronics Research Center ntawm University of Southampton mus ua lag luam kev tshawb fawb nyob rau hauv HCF. Ua ntej tau txais, qhov pib tau nce £ 12.5 lab (~ $ 15.35 lab) hauv kev pab nyiaj thoob plaws ntau qhov kev pab nyiaj los ntawm cov tub ua lag luam, suav nrog Kev Lag Luam Loj hlob Fund thiab Parkwalk Advisors.
Lumenisity thov nws cov fibers raug xa mus rau hauv cov neeg siv khoom sib koom "nrog rau qhov ntev tshaj plaws uas tau tshaj tawm siv HCF thev naus laus zis." Tshaj li Comcast, UK tus neeg teb xov tooj BT tsis ntev los no tau sim Lumenisity's thev naus laus zis, uas BT tau thov thaum lub sijhawm muaj peev xwm txo qis latency txog li 50% piv rau cov tsoos fiber ntau. Infrastructure tuam txhab euNetworks Fiber UK Limited tseem tab tom sim Lumenisity cable los ua haujlwm rau London Tshuag Txauv.
Nyuam qhuav pib lub hlis no, Lumenisity tau ua tiav kev tsim kho ntawm 40,000-square-foot HCF chaw tsim khoom hauv Romsey, UK, uas lub tuam txhab tau hais tias yuav ua kom "txhim kho" ntau lawm ntawm nws cov cuab yeej HCF yav tom ntej.
"Qhov no yog qhov kawg ntawm qhov pib, thiab peb zoo siab los pib peb tshooj tshiab ua ib feem ntawm Microsoft kom ua tiav cov thev naus laus zis no thiab txuas ntxiv peb txoj kev nrhiav kev qhib lub peev xwm tshiab hauv kev sib txuas lus," Lumenisity sau hauv ib nqe lus ntawm nws lub vev xaib. "Peb zoo siab tau txais los ntawm lub tuam txhab nrog lub zeem muag sib koom uas yuav ua kom peb cov kev vam meej hauv qhov chaw hollowcore."
