Our unique network routes passes through eight selected countries, connecting 40+ vital data centres in 12 European and American cities. This high-speed network between Norway and Europe is what makes us unique. We access Europe through two different routes to Great Britain, as well as routes via Sweden and Denmark. Thus, we can always choose the fastest route for our customers.
Tampnet Carrier originated from the offshore network that Tampnet has developed over the years. The very stringent availability, quality and security requirements of communication offshore have been incorporated into the Carrier business.
Norway has become a major player in the global data center industry - putting pressure on terrestrial backhaul networks, where data-intensive businesses urgently need new, diverse routes to connect to, from or within Norway.
We've built a solution for businesses that need to bypass congestion and scale to meet future demands. Norfest is a new, resilient near-shore subsea route connecting 11+ locations - from Stavanger to Oslo - with full diversity.

We deliver high-performance Long-Haul Wavelength services with a European reach, combining an advanced DWDM platform with extensive metropolitan reach and Tampnet’s unique routes.
Our dedicated Long-Haul Wavelength network connects over 30 data centres in 12 cities with rapid turn-up times and industry-leading SLAs. High capacity intercity bandwidth – N times 1Gbps, 10 Gbps, 100Gbps or 400Gbps. Ethernet, infiniband or OTN. We manage low latency transport of multiple protocols.
We own and operate fibre infrastructure connecting the Nordics, UK and Europe.
Proven in a range of industries, including data centres, finance, media, corporate and the public sector, Dark Fibre is a highly scalable option for high-capacity users, enabling quick access to additional capacity as needed.
All Tampnet fibre routes are based on passive fibre and suitable for all transmission technologies. Optical spectrum enables access to a portion of the capacity of an optical fibre. The optical spectrum enables unparalleled scalability with the ability to grow capacity from a few wavelengths without the commitment to a full fibre.
Contact us to discuss your business needs, and our experienced network engineers will work with you to design the ideal route to meet your capacity and latency requirements.
Ethernet services provide high-performance, carrier-grade connectivity using MPLS technology. These services are produced on our state of the art platform and offer scalability from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, with traffic control and segmentation at the VLAN level. They are designed for connecting data centres and other locations, supporting point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint connections.
Our uninterrupted cloud connectivity services operate to the highest availability and bandwidth specifications while offering low-latency connectivity.
Co-located with cloud on-ramps across the UK, Europe and the Nordics, we ensure your data reaches your chosen cloud provider, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. Other Cloud providers are also accessible from our PoP's and DC locations.

DAS is a fibre-sensing technology that uses principles similar to OTDR. In DAS, light pulses are sent down the optical fibre, and the backscattered light is analysed. DAS detects changes in the phase of the reflected light caused by variations in the fibre strain. These strain changes can result from acoustic vibrations or physical interactions with the fibre cable, making DAS highly sensitive to a wide range of activities and environmental phenomena.
SoP sensing is another fibre-sensing technology that leverages the polarization properties of light travelling through optical fibre. Unlike DAS, SoP sensing can be fully integrated into existing optical transmission systems, but comes with lower sensitivity and less spatial information. It can operate using dark fibre, a separate wavelength, or even by utilising data from a coherent receiver in an active optical transmission system. This integration makes SoP a cost-efficient alternative to DAS, with lower equipment and deployment cost.
Fibre-sensing technologies represent a transformative advancement for the proactive monitoring and management of submarine fibre cables. By leveraging existing infrastructure, these techniques enable real-time detection of both physical threats and environmental phenomena. This integration of fibre-sensing data with diverse sources - such as weather information, geophysical data, and network telemetry - within the Network Operations Centre (NOC) greatly enhances situational awareness and operational decision-making. The approach allows operators to address risks preemptively, from preventing anchor drags that may harm cables to coordinating cable inspections or rerouting traffic in response to potential failures.
Moreover, the ability to extract environmental data provides additional value for external applications, including seismic monitoring, oceanographic research and resource exploration. Read more about SoP and DAS here, and find all of our research here.
