Lumenisity’s HCF technology uses light propagates in an air core which apparently has big advantages over cables that use a solid core of glass. Microsoft outlined the following benefits:

Increased overall speed and lower latency as light travels through HCF 47% faster than standard silica glass.

Enhanced security and intrusion detection due to Lumenisity’s innovative inner structure.

Lower costs, increased bandwidth and enhanced network quality due to elimination of fiber nonlinearities and broader spectrum.

Potential for ultra-low signal loss enabling deployment over longer distances without repeaters.
