All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with seven heptagonal tilings existing around each edge and with an order-7 triangular tiling vertex figure.

Properties Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-8 octagonal honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {8,3,8}. It has eight octagonal tilings, {8,3}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many octagonal tilings existing around each vertex in an order-8 triangular tiling vertex arrangement.

 
Poincaré disk model

It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {8,(3,4,3)}, Coxeter diagram,       , with alternating types or colors of cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [8,3,8,1+] = [8,((3,4,3))].
