Why Dark Fiber?
The Dark Side (of fiber) has its advantages
When it comes to control, scale, customization, and cost stability, dark fiber optic networks offer strong advantages over their “lit” cousins. If your company’s already a global or regional powerhouse with an in-house expertise to manage dark fiber – or it’s well on the way to becoming one – we can create the ultra-high bandwidth solution you need to fuel your growth even further, and as you see fit.
What is Dark Fiber?
Dark fiber refers to optical fiber infrastructure that is currently in place but unused or unlit. Learn more about the benefits of using it.
Flexibility
Flexible bandwidth to match your fast-growing needs
With the power and flexibility of dark fiber, you can implement the network that best suits your organization’s growing needs. Every aspect of network management is under your governance, letting you change out interfaces without ever needing to coordinate with an outside service provider – or depend on someone else’s leased circuit. If you’re in a line of work (say, high-tech manufacturing or a government agency) that requires rapid expansion of its network capacity, we can readily support you with the level of flexibility necessary to meet all your growing pains.
