Welcome to NDFF
The National Dark Fibre Facility (NDFF) is an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) National Research Facility, established in 2014 to enable researchers to develop the underpinning communications technologies for the future internet.
A dedicated fibre network named as Aurora2 will be provided by NDFF, linking four universities sites, UCL, Bristol, Cambridge and Southampton, with onward connection to European and Worldwide research networks via telecommunications facilities in London.
As well as supporting research on the future core optical network, NDFF will also enable research with converging networks and internet applications. In this web site, we are delighted to provide a description of our facility, research highlights and how to access the facility.

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded additional funding from UKRI-EPSRC to offer increased connectivity to NDFF.
