As the official UK partner of Telescent, Red Helix delivers scalable optical fibre switching and physical layer automation to major networks, data centres, and test labs. These robotic solutions remove human error, accelerate provisioning, and support high-density, future-ready infrastructure. 

Scale Smarter with Telescent’s Robotic Optical Switching

Networks, data centres, and test labs continue to grow in size and complexity. 

To help you avoid provisioning and reconfiguration delays, as well as reducing the likelihood of manual changes leading to errors, SLA breach, and lost revenue, we have teamed up with physical layer automation specialists; Telescent, to provide and support their very large-scale robotic all-optical switches and automated patch-panels for major-scale infrastructure owners. With port counts up to 2,016×2,016 available, we can cater for your switching needs on a mass scale. 

Telescent’s all-optical switching systems allow you to remotely reconfigure thousands of fibre connections through intuitive software. Red Helix enables this transformation by delivering and supporting solutions that speed up provisioning, eliminate manual errors, and dramatically cut operational costs. 

Supporting Your Physical Layer Strategy

Red Helix supports physical layer transformation in: 

  • Service provider networks
    Improve latency and enable real-time traffic routing. 
  • Data centres
    Achieve scalable growth with energy-efficient fibre management. 
  • Test labs
    Reduce QA cycles and extend fibre life with automated, unattended testing setups. 

Our expertise ensures the right solution for your specific infrastructure needs, enabling smarter control and improved SLA performance. This is all done whilst reducing the need for physical site visits and manual patching. Red Helix ensures rapid deployment, full integration, and continuous support for optimal performance. 

Through Telescent we deliver:
Robotic all-optical switches with up to 2,016x2,016 ports
Automated patch panels for major-scale infrastructure
Centralised software control of switching layers
Support for real-time provisioning and reconfiguration

Why Red Helix?

With decades of experience supporting physical layer transformation, Red Helix delivers more than just technology, we provide tailored advice, trusted integration, and long-term support.  

This partnership builds on our extensive capabilities for supporting your physical layer management and automation needs across your network, data centre, and test lab environments.

A Smarter Approach to Optical Infrastructure

By using robotic optical switches, you gain deterministic, contamination-free connectivity, scalable switching for high-density environments, and the freedom to automate tasks that once required manual intervention. This means fewer errors, faster rollouts, and better SLA performance, all with a dramatically smaller operational footprint.
